Activity 1

Directions: Pick your favorite verb. Then go to the popular search engine Yahoo! and do a web search for your verb. What kind of sites did you find? Were you surprised at how people used your favorite verb?

Activity 2

Directions: Find an article on the internet that is of interest to you. It might be an article about sports, about fashion, or about movies. Just pick something you would enjoy reading. Here are some sites at which you might begin your search:

ESPN.com

Cosmopolitan Magazine

Internet Movie Database

The New York Times

CNN.com

As you read, practice finding the subject and verb of each sentence. Was it more difficult to do this in a real article than it was in the exercises in your textbook? Or was it easier because you chose the subject?
