High School - Adjectives

[jellomando]

This class is a wrapper around the Fortune Teller Activity found in the JLP Resource book. 

Adjectives:

• Native Speaker introduces the concept of Adjective to the class. 10 minutes.
• Native Speaker performs Fortune Teller activity with the students. 20 minutes.
• The Class will perform Fortune Teller activity via the Interview Worksheet handout. 10 minutes.
• The Class will present their Fortune Teller activity to the rest of the class. 10 minutes.

Notes:

• The class level could only have two or three syllable words for both adjectives and professions.
• Choose a number may not be in the student's vocabulary; instead try what is your favorite number?
• Some classes skipped the interview because they were having too much fun playing the Fortune Teller game.
• The resource book also uses number of children as part of the fortune teller activity; it was omitted here for no particular reason.
• To keep the Fortune Teller game going strong, use plenty of outrageous adjectives and professions.  Students will often volunteer their friend for a fortune teller.

Bonus:  If you have the patience, stamina, and talent, you can go completely crazy with this lesson.

The kids really enjoyed the fortune teller game, but I found this lesson was lacking alittle substance as it doesn't really review any of the professions like it does with the adjectives. So I created a couple of puzzles with jobs in them to help with that review portion (I do the profession review first, then adjectives, then the fortune teller game). I though I would post the puzzles and the answer keys if anyone is interested. I generated them at armouredpenguin.com

This is my PPT for a lesson I did with my grade 1 conversation class. I had them read through the personal adverts I wrote (warning- geeky) and decide who they liked best, and why. Then together we wrote a personal advert example on the board for slide 7
The rest is pretty self explanatory in the ppt. They have to write about themselves, then write their perfect date. Then we played a game where they had to stand up and pretend to be one of the people on the last slide (including optimus prime) 'looking for love' like 'Hi, I'm a lonely alien robot, I'm tall, shiny and can change shape really fast' etc.
Hope it's helpful!

I don't really havea book but i used this lesson for my open class.
i show about 30 seconds from the scribblenauts video to explain what adjectives do
then go through the lesson, and i used a maplestory themed game i pulled from here, i belive it was summerthymes template? if im wrong im sorry.

the word search is mostly filler
and the worksheet is meant to be completed during the lesson so it can help with the game, if you so desire.

I used this powerpoint to emphasize how adjectives are used. At the end, I have the students make "adjective posters" - big pieces of colored paper, and they write sentences on them. I've been hanging them in the classroom for decoration, and the students can see that they are good at making sentences. It's also nice to have the posters to point to throughout other lessons. I let them make the posters for about 15 minutes, and then leave enough time to present.

This is geared towards all-girls high school, so you may want to change some of the photos, etc.

I also use a page with adjectives to help them think of new words to use. (I borrowed it and changed it up a bit from another waygooker - so thanks!)

Enjoy!
