Opening:
1. I will ask the students what they already know about adjectives.

our classroom.
Presentation:
1. I will give each student an adjective worksheet. I will call on a student to read the
directions.
2. We will go step by step, one side at a time, through the worksheet. If students appear to
understand the concept, I will allow them to work independently and we will review the
page after they complete it.
3. I will tell the students that they will be working in groups to practice using adjectives to
describe a picture.
4. I will give them the directions for the activity and place them in their homogeneous
groups.
Guided Practice:
1. Students will work around the room with their groups to describe the mural their group
has been given.

2. Each group will be responsible for giving a various number of adjectives, based on their
skill level.
3. Each student must write at least one adjective on the groups poster.
Closure:
1. Students will come together and share what adjectives they chose to describe their
murals.
2. I will remind the students that they can use adjectives in their writing to give great
details.
Assessment:

Students will be assessed during the lesson when they ask or answer questions.
Students will be assessed when they give answers for the worksheet.
Students will be assessed individually when I check their worksheet for accuracy.
Students will be assessed as they work in groups to describe their mural.

Students will be using a hands-on approach to practice using adjectives, benefitting

visual and kinesthetic learners.
