Seventh Graders Are Mad

In seventh grade Language Arts we're learning parts of speech. I use free online Mad Libs to generate student interest. Here's one from today completed by Sun Joon and Breeana. You can copy it into a Word document and clear the italicized words for your own fun at home.

Mad Libs from Outer Space
"Copernicus"

Four hundred years ago people knew little about our stupid (adjective) universe. They thought that the earth was the center of the entire christmas tree (noun) and that the sun and all of the boogers (plural nouns) revolved around it. But then a/an Korean (nationality) named Copernicus discovered the truth. The earth revolves around the Dr. Pepper can (something round) thirty-seven (number) times a year.

Copernicus, whose last name was Humble (last name), was born in Warsaw, and he used one of the first colorful (adjective) telescopes, which was invented by Jemma (someone in the room). This primitive telescope was little more than two pieces of fried rice (food) stuck on each end of a soccer ball (noun). In 1600 an Italian swimsuit model (occupation) named Galileo expanded Copernicus's sweet(adjective) theories, but during the Inquisition in Italy he was wildly (adverb) arrested. After barfing (verb ending in -ing) for six months in jail, Galileo was forced to sneeze (verb).
