  3. Subject-Verb Agreement on the Mesa

Subject-Verb Agreement on the Mesa

Shutter Seat

Dusk on a sandstone mesa. A brass view camera waits on the crate, and a dino holds a pose in the canyon set. Read the English sentence on the slate. Slide the verb plate that agrees with the subject into the camera back. A hit seats the plate, the shutter snaps, and a polaroid drops into the album. A Flash popped rattles the bellows and burns a bulb. Built for third-grade subject-verb agreement.

Shutter Seat is a third-grade subject-verb agreement game. A mesa field studio holds a brass view camera and a canyon set. The player reads an English sentence on the slate, then slides the verb plate that agrees with the subject into the camera back. Correct plates seat, the shutter snaps, and a polaroid fills the album. Wrong plates recoil, the flash pops, and a bulb burns out. The goal is eight Shots and a high Score.
