If you can FIND adjectives...you can learn when to use them. If you are reading HIGH QUALITY adjectives...you can integrate them into YOUR vocabulary. If you ENJOY what you are reading...you will REMEMBER it. This work has been written for just this purpose and it is new and different for your students! These tasks are designed to inspire students to see the imperative role adjectives play in interesting writing.
These tasks consist of:
- Searching for adjectives in a written article to practice identifying them and to expand our adjective vocabulary; and
- Answering reading comprehension and connection questions about the article they read to imbed the memory.
All of my adjective works are written around the theme of the grand state of Alaska because I thought, “what better place to DESCRIBE?!” Using a cohesive theme and powerful visuals will provide your students with another memory anchor to what adjectives are and the lessons learned. Add to that, the pictures and the non-fiction articles on the geography, animals, and plants that make Alaska fantastic will teach them about our most magnificent and radically different state.
The varied activities included in this work will have your students describing, enjoying writing, identifying, reading informative text, summarizing what they read, and answering questions to connect to the reading. They will read about geography, botany, and zoology. Pretty great topic, huh? We want to make memories here so let’s have a little fun and throw in some gorgeous nature for inspiration.
Teaching Off Trail’s Alaskan Adjective Cruise work introduces adjectives in a fun, engaging way using a teamwork sketching activity where one partner describes a picture using as many adjectives as possible while the other tries to recreate it. The second task is just as fun where students first write a short story using NO adjectives (not easy to do!), then go back and rewrite it using all the adjectives they can to make it interesting. It is so engaging and memorable…
My Alaskan Adjective Adventure work takes this practice to the next level, expanding students’ adjective vocabulary and challenging them to write incredible creative setting descriptions. This work is the perfect launching pad for their writing—-they are the ones creating and dreaming. It is a fan favorite and has made more than one student believe they are a WRITER.
If you think these are ALL great… there’s always the BUNDLE!
