The teacher will show a list of thirty to forty verbs in the PowerPoint presentation. The teacher will instruct the student to indicate whether the verb is dynamic or stative and if it is transitive or intransitive.

The student will be given a picture to describe. For each sentence that the student uses to describe the picture, he or she must explain whether the verb employed in each sentence is dynamic or stative and transitive or intransitive.
Stage Aim 7:
The teacher will give the student several paragraphs from different texts. The student must identify all the dynamic and stative verbs in each paragraph and whether the verbs are transitive or intransitive.
