🔍 Step 1: Understand Each Part of Speech

✔ Step 2: Identify and Color Each Word

We'll go through each word in the image and classify it.

#### 🔹 Nouns (Color: Blue)
These are people, places, things, or ideas.

- sun → thing → Blue
- paper → thing → Blue
- blocks → thing → Blue
- poster → thing → Blue
- trains → thing → Blue
- school → place → Blue
- notes → thing → Blue
- John → person → Blue
- Mary → person → Blue
- homework → thing → Blue
- car → thing → Blue
- bus → thing → Blue
- Mrs. Spencer → person → Blue
- friends → people → Blue
- teacher → person → Blue
- pencils → things → Blue
- pen → thing → Blue
- book → thing → Blue
- tree → thing → Blue
- Ohio → place → Blue
- lim → likely short for "limb"? But possibly typo for "Jim"? If "Jim", then name → Blue

> Note: “lim” might be a typo or abbreviation. Assuming it's meant to be “Jim”, which is a name → Blue

---

#### 🔹 Verbs (Color: Red)
Action or state of being.

- look → action → Red
- read → action → Red
- study → action → Red
- sleep → action → Red
- find → action → Red
- win → action → Red
- do → action → Red
- try → action → Red
- hard → adjective? Wait — see below.
- go → action → Red

Wait — “hard” is not a verb here. Let’s recheck.

> “hard” is an adjective, not a verb.

So:
- hard → adjective → Yellow
- boring → adjective → Yellow

Also:
- the → article → Green
- a → article → Green

But wait — “a” isn’t visible in the image. Only “the” appears.

Let’s list all words again carefully.

sun, paper, blocks, poster, trains, school, notes, John, Mary, homework, car, bus, Mrs. Spencer, friends, teacher, pencils, pen, book, tree, Ohio, lim (if Jim)

- Yellow (Adjectives):
hard, boring

- Green (Articles):

🖌️ How to Complete the Activity:

1. Color each shape according to the word inside.
2. For example:
- If a shape has "read", color it red.
- If it has "hard", color it yellow.
- If it has "the", color it green.
- If it has "book", color it blue.

---

💡 Tips:

- Some words may be tricky. For instance, “hard” is an adjective (describing how someone tries), not a verb.
- “The” is an article — always green.
- All proper nouns (names, places) are nouns, so blue.

✔ Summary:

| Color | Words |
|--------|-------|
| Blue | sun, paper, blocks, poster, trains, school, notes, John, Mary, homework, car, bus, Mrs. Spencer, friends, teacher, pencils, pen, book, tree, Ohio, lim, go (wait — no!) |
| Red | look, read, study, sleep, find, win, do, try, go |
| Yellow | hard, boring |
| Green | the |

> Correction: “go” is a verb, so red.

Final correction:
- Go → verb → Red

And “lim” → if it’s “Jim”, then blue.
