The teacher introduces prepositions by explaining that these words often indicate a direction or location in space. Referring to a list of prepositions, the teacher calls out a command for students to perform.
Students can take turns calling out the commands for the rest of the class to perform.
Next the teacher explains that students will write a paragraph using prepositions to establish spatial order. Students underline the prepositional phrases. When the students are finsished describing their rooms, the teacher reads paragraphs without mentioning who wrote them. The rest of the class must figure out whose bedroom is being described.
