Students will learn about adjectives by drawing a portrait of themselves and writing several words to describe themselves. Then, they will use the adjectives to write an essay about themselves.
What a great idea - students will love describing themselves!! I love these materials to teach writing concepts, as well as parts of speech - so many wonderful teaching ideas with this activity. Thanks for sharing your creativity and generosity! :)
Love this! I am going to use it for my Student of the Week or birthday kiddos (while the others are writing letters to that student).
Thanks,
Nicole

That is a PERFECT First Week and Last Week activity for my first grade students to try this year. They would begin with the easy rectangular labels using their crayons for the spelling of the colors and end the year with the About Me writing sample. THANKS!!!
