Adjective? What's an Adjective?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Mount a variety of pictures (fantasy, rustic, portraits, action) on large sheets of paper and post them around the classroom. Groups rotate from poster to poster, adding adjectives to describe each of the pictures. Writers use these word banks to write a poem, story, or newspaper article. A list of activities includes how the plan can be used in other subject areas.
