writing. While writing I will be sure to include questions like, In our writing can we
think of a few words we could have adjectives with?
Assessment/Summative Evaluation: Their summative assessment will be at the end of the
two week writing lessons. We will continue to discuss them in class every day and strive
to use them in our own work. My major grading of their understanding will be having
them write a paper using 5 adjectives correctly along with a noun. They will have been
building up practice since this lesson so they will plenty of practice. They will create a
story and we will do Final Friday share before turning in our favorite story from the week
that matches the rules written on the board. After turning in their book they will share
with their peers. Their peers will then tell them the nouns and adjectives they heard in the
story. I will be sure to bring up questions in conferencing like, In your paper you only
used boy could you describe the boy? Write it down.
Homework: I will send home short stories on the childs reading level that they will need
to read nightly with a parent to practice reading. I will have the children with their
parents help to try and find all the adjectives in the story and write them and the noun on
a separate piece of paper. This will help strengthen vocabulary, writing, reading, and
language and also involving the parent in their childrens learning.

Modifications/Notes:
1. I will have prewritten cards for the students who cant write very well so they can
participate in the labeling. I will have blank cards for the students who want to use
a special label that they thought of but did not have. The children would need to
come ask for a card so we did not end up with random words written all over the
classroom though.
2. When playing our group game I will be sure to make sure that the groups are
fairly balanced so each group has a child in it that is strong with the concept and
can help those to better understand. I will make sure that each group has a
balanced understanding so that everyone can get the most out of the lesson during
the discussion.
3. When singing the song I will have printed out sheets for the children to use. Some
children may need special paper they can read better on, or any assistance they
may need to excel at learning the song.
