In an engaging lesson aimed at improving writing skills, students are provided with a worksheet focused on identifying and using verbs. The worksheet, derived from the narrative of "The Magic Finger," encourages students to pinpoint the action words in several sentences. For example, they are asked to underline the verbs in sentences like "William and Philip flew into the sky" and "Mr Gregg fired his gun," which helps them recognise verbs as words that describe actions or states of being. This exercise not only enhances their understanding of grammar but also connects them with the literature they are studying.

Furthering their grasp of verbs, students are then challenged to fill in the blanks in a series of sentences with appropriate action words. This requires them to think creatively and contextually about which verbs best fit the scenarios presented, such as "The wind __________ through the broken window" or "The truck __________ along the road." By actively constructing sentences, students reinforce their knowledge of how verbs function within the structure of a sentence, improving their overall writing ability. The worksheet provides a practical and interactive way for students to enhance their command of English grammar.
