About this activity

A neon orbital station where glitchy word drones drift along docking lanes to the core. Students place scanner beacons that are rules ('is a verb', 'is an adjective') on lane pads; a beacon re-sorts only the drones whose bright word its rule is true for in that sentence, while supply pods must dock. Sectors grow from single words to shapeshifting words, two-word shields, compound-sentence splitters and whole-sentence motherships.

What students learn

  • B3.2: identify the function of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns in sentences, including words whose part of speech changes with the sentence
  • B3.1: identify compound sentences and the two complete sentences (independent clauses) they join with and, but, or, so
  • Plan with rules: a rule placed on a lane must be true for every word it should stop and false for every word that must pass
