BACKGROUND and RATIONALE:
 The purpose of this lesson is for students to comprehend what adjectives are and how to use them
 Adjectives being descriptive words and important in everyday sentence structure
 In the previous lesson, we discussed the use of past tense verbs. We are discussing grammar in this unit
so our next lesson will be based off connecting sentences and expanding the knowledge of what we
have learned thus far
 In the next lesson we will first review what we already know and begin sentence structure
 We will need to have backup activities for students who may not comprehend as easily as other
students. And also students who have specific IEPS
PROCEDURES AND TIMELINE:
● Introduction:
○ Before every lesson students shake out their jitters and stretch before sitting down
and focusing on the lesson at hand. Once students have all been seated, I will ask students if they
have read the book Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I will ask for students to remain silent while
we read the book together for students who have not read the book before.
● Procedures:
 Introduction (10 min)
○ Students will sit in their
seats on the magic carpet as we read
Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
○ Students are listening
respectfully for the students who may
not have read this book before. They
will also look at the pictures as I read
the book to them.
○ After reading the story,
I will ask the students who their favorite
character was in the book and why they
did and did not like the characters
○ While they are telling
me their reasons, I will be writing the
adjectives I hear in their answers on the
board.
○ After all of the
descriptions have been said, I will tell
the students how these words are
descriptive words better known as
adjectives.
○ I will play a YouTube
video on Adjectives so students can see
pictures of descriptive words.
Guided Practice
○ I will divide the
students into groups and they will act of
their favorite characters from the book.
The class will describe the characters
being portrayed. I will also remind the
students the words they are using to
describe the characters are called
adjectives
○ We will next play an
interactive game on ABCYa called Parts
of Speech Quest part3 on the
Smartboard.
Independent Practice
○ Students will complete
two worksheets based off the lesson.
○ The first worksheet, has
words written in small pencils. Students
will color the adjective red and the non-
adjectives in blue.
○ The second worksheet
consists of a t-chart labeled nouns and
adjectives. Students will have a list of
words and write the word under the
section it belongs.

● Closure:
Students will pull out their Vocab booklet that we have been working on and flip to the page about adjectives.
Students will write in their own words the definition of an adjective.
Students will then write an adjective and draw a picture to go along with a sentence
ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE:

● For the formative assessment students will present their pictures from the closure activity to the class.
This will be the exit ticket to make sure students are grasping the concept of adjectives

MODIFICATIONS:

● I will provide an adjective chart with a list of adjectives listed. This will benefit students who have
trouble with language or struggle with organizing their thoughts.

For students who are ready for enrichment activities, instead of creating a regular booklet, these students will
create a digital booklet
