This resource includes posters and folding notes for students to fill out based on the information on the posters. Color versions and black and white versions are included.

The posters will make a wonderful bulletin board display. The information is practical, and the fun doggie graphics make the posters pop! If you would like, you can laminate them for long-term use.

You can hang these up and have students fill out their notes from their seats or by walking around. You can even jigsaw by having students work in groups to write assigned definitions and then regroup to share. Then everyone will have all of the notes.

If you want to use the ink-saving black and white versions, you can pass them around the room. Assign each student to write the definition and then contribute to the classroom décor by coloring a little bit of each poster. Everyone will benefit. The kids will have ownership of the assignment. You will have colorful posters. And the kids will be learning while they have a little fun!

In the future, encourage students to underline or circle these command verbs when they find them on assignments. They will be very surprised to see how often they show up!
