Procedures/Activities

1.)Inform students that they are going to be learning
about adjectives. Explain that students will not be given the definition
for adjectives, but rather they will have to determine their own meaning of
adjectives from an activity.
2.)Choose a student to come up to the front of the room.
Have that student put his/her hand into the bag and describe what he/she
feels.
Let the rest of the class try to guess what the object is in the bag from
the clues given by the student describing the object.
3.)The teacher will label the bags on the board and list
the adjectives that were used to describe each object.
Continue this activity until all unknown items have been identified.
4.)After the activity is complete, ask students to give
their own definition of what an adjective might be. Help students come up
with a working definition for adjectives.
