Could someone tell me what specific grammar/word order/etc. these pages are covering? What terms should I look up? (pictures linked)

1. i’m sure someone more qualified can chime in but whatever is in the thumbnail looks like “be動詞”

2. * Verb conjugation. Verbs in English have to “agree” with the persons of the nouns associated with them.
   * Right dislocation—I think that’s what it’s called—mainly as a substitute for です/だ.
   * Some prepositions and phrasal verbs.
   * If I were you, I’d avoid the implicit teaching that “set menu” is acceptable English.

3. The best worksheets are review for third graders. You are reviewing how to use verbs. So it’s just reviewing what they learned in junior high.

   You might not actually have to do too much work. Usually I just go around checking the written sentences as they finish them. It’s just review, so you don’t have to prepare anything special unless you want to do vocab game or something to warm them up. The basic goal of the lesson is probably just to get ready for high school exams.

4. >I’ve been asked to cover this class and their teacher didn’t leave anything except this document and asked me to do an activity based on it

   Look for your textbook on [this site](https://www.altopedia.net/jhs). If this is a common textbook, there may already be some worksheets that someone previously made.

   Are these pages at the end of a chapter or something? It looks like a very mixed bag – there’s some be-verb stuff, asking questions, looks + adjective stuff, too. Some Japanese terms I see there:

   形容詞 – adjective

   疑問文 – question sentence

   現在形 – present tense

   複数 – plural

5. I don’t get it – who in their right mind would teach this jumble of un-contextualized totally random grammar, to KIDS.

   Is this normal for junior high???

   Wow.
