Grammar 3

Guided Lesson

Grammar 3

As students become more sophisticated writers, they begin to understand that words have different “jobs” in a sentence. These jobs can be thought of as parts of speech. In this word study unit, students will learn about the work that transition words, prepositions, verbs, adverbs and adjectives do. Students will also explore how certain kinds of words work together, like verbs and adverbs.

Fourth graders are already familiar with adjectives, but they add more complex descriptors to their vocabularies this year. They also learn how to properly order adjectives when they use more than one at a time. This rule becomes intuitive with practice—the right order naturally sounds less clumsy, like hitting a clear note. There are traditional and unconventional resources in the Learning Library to enhance fourth graders' adjective use and make their writing shine.

Refreshing Fourth Grade Adjective Resources

Fourth grade adjective practice involves learning the correct order of words when using two or more adjectives. The rules seem random, but applying the proper order results in a smoother sounding sentence. For instance, the sentence "The pink tall flamingo stood on one leg," is awkward compared to, "The tall pink flamingo stood on one leg." A simplified version of adjective order starts with an observation, the physical description, the origin, material, then the modifier. Fourth graders also learn that articles such as a and an are adjectives. Education.com's Learning Library provides adjective practice that teach these new concepts and introduces advanced adjective vocabulary words.

Who Are You? is an academic look at adjective ordering through written self-portraits. This helps kids learn the sequencing that will later become intuitive. Adjectives in Informational Texts challenges students to write short summaries of nonfiction excerpts, which pushes kids to pack in as much description as possible. There are also numerous printable worksheets, a guided lesson, interactive hands-on activities, and more fourth grade adjective resources to expand vivid vocabularies.

8 Adjective Activities for Elementary Students

This blog post is all about teaching adjectives in your elementary classroom. Adjectives are important in reading, writing, and language. They are going to be present across all content areas and are important for students to understand. In addition to understanding their function, students will also need to form and use different types of adjectives, modify adjectives, and correctly order adjectives. I have always found that with adjective activities, it is best to keep it simple. Students will need repeated exposure and practice, but the activity, itself does not need to be complicated. In this post, I will talk about 8 adjective activities that are going to help your students master this descriptive skill!

Common Core Standards for adjectives will build at each grade level. The specific skills needed for each grade level are listed below.

  • 1st Grade: L.1.1f- Use frequently occurring adjectives.
  • 2nd Grade: L. 2.1.e- Use adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified.
  • 3rd Grade: L.3.1.g- Form and use comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified.
  • 4th Grade: L.4.1.d- Order adjectives within sentences according to conventional patterns (e.g., a small red bag rather than a red small bag).

Introduce Adjectives with a Video

First, engage students with a video. BrainPop is always a great place to start when introducing a language skill. Not only is there a simple and engaging video describing the skill, but there are also interactive elements that follow. After showing your students the video, the quiz, graphic organizers, worksheets, games, and challenges can be added to your independent, partner, and small group activities.

Here are links to the BrainPop videos!

  • BrainPop, Jr. Adjectives and Adverbs
  • BrainPop Adjectives

Anchor Chart Ideas

Additionally, a descriptive anchor chart, like this printable/projectable one, can be displayed as a reinforcement for students as they are learning about adjectives. In younger grades, it is beneficial to remind students about the types of descriptions and where adjectives can be found.

This anchor chart can be made interactive by simply using it as call and answer prompts. Have students think of a noun. Ask each of the questions to the group and have them call back adjectives to describe their noun.

Create your own anchor chart for continuous adjective practice. Using a simple header and large white space can allow you and your students to add adjectives throughout the learning process. Keep markers or sticky notes nearby and anytime your students use adjectives, they can add them to the chart! In the anchor chart above, a 4th-grade class is able to rearrange the adjectives to put them in the correct order!

Use Mentor Texts to Show Adjectives in Action

An important addition to adjective activities will be mentor texts. Students will need repeated exposure to adjectives in action so that they can develop experience with the language. There are many adjective-focused mentor texts out there, but many of the picture books you already have will be perfect for this!

  • Fun Dog, Sun Dog
  • Hairy Scary Ordinary

Try a Simple Fold and Go Paper Adjective Activities

These simple paper-folding organizers can be great adjective activities. They can be used in several different ways and all you need is a sheet of paper! The activity above is called a “Shutterfold.” Students will fold their paper inward like a book and snip the font flaps in half. Have students describe nouns on the inner flap using multiple adjectives. Or, you can have students track adjectives from their reading!

Another paper-folding activity is this “Fold and Snip!” Students will simply fold their paper in half and snip to create as many tabs as they need. For younger students, they may want to write adjectives that fall under the 5 senses. For older students, they may want to use the 9 adjective categories so that they can work on adjective order!

Show Pictures and Have Students Brainstorm Lists

Google images can be used to practice adjectives, as well! For example, search for an image that can be described using adjectives. Print or display the image and have students create a list of adjectives to describe the photo. Add this activity to partner or small group centers, independent work, or even homework!

Go on a Book Hunt

One of my favorite adjective activities is a Book Hunt. Students can grab books from the shelves and find as many adjectives as they can! Moreover, this activity can be modified for any type of learner and can be repeated over and over! As you can see in the activity above, students could either create a continuous list of all adjectives used or track adjective phrases on sticky notes.

Using digital activities will allow you to measure students’ understanding. These adjective activities will be found in Google Slides, which means that you can quickly and easily check and address misunderstandings. I love that these Google Slides activities allow you to simply reset answers that students may have gotten wrong so that they can try again. I also love that they eliminate paper copying and grading! First, download the unit. Then, you can assign them to your students! They come ready-made for you.

Participate in a Partner Activity

Finally, partner adjective activities will be a great addition to your independent work time or centers. Students can work together on a printable activity, like the one above, and build on each others’ understanding. Even after instruction, be sure to mix-in adjective activities for students to work together on. Don’t forget to continue to add these activities back into student practice throughout the year!

Adjective.

Adjective is a part of speech that answers the questions what? which? which? which? whose? whose? whose, whose? and denotes an attribute of an object.

Adjectives change by case, number and gender (singular).

Examples.

Book (what?) interesting.

Lesson (what?) interesting,

Message (what?) interesting.

Movies (what?) interesting.

Book (whose?) mother's.

Scarf (whose?) grandmother's.

Solution (whose) daddy's.

Nests (whose?) birds.

Full and short adjectives.

Adjectives are in full and short form.

Remember!

Short adjectives are always predicates.

Short adjectives answer questions what? what? what is it? what are

Examples.

House (what?) definition high.

House (what?) predicate high.

Adjective suffixes.

Suffixes.

Examples.

-ist-

sparks ist

-liv-

happy liv th

-iv-

true ive th

-sk-

rus sk ii

-n-

length n

-chiv-

offense chiv th

-onk-

How do adjectives change?

Remember the rule!

Adjectives, like nouns, change in cases, or decline.

The adjective always stands in the same gender (in the singular), number and case as the noun , with which the adjective is connected in meaning.

Adjectives change according to gender, number and case.

Adjectives are masculine, feminine and neuter.

Adjectives change by gender only in the singular.

The gender of the adjective depends on the gender of the noun with which it is associated.

Examples.

  • Yellow flower (male),
  • yellow tape (feminine),
  • yellow dress (neuter).

Number of adjectives:

  • unique: kind girl, children's book;
  • plural: good girls, children's books.

Change of adjective names according to cases.

The ending of th, -th is written after a solid consonant ,

-his, -ih - after the soft consonant .

Case endings for adjectives.

Remember!

Case of the adjective determine by the case of the noun on which it depends.

Examples.

About the cold th weather (about what? about the weather, p.p., so the adjective also costs in the prepositional case .)

Not happy with the cold weather

Remember the rule.

To determine the case of the adjective in a phrase or sentence, you must:

Find the noun to which the adjective refers.

determine the case of a noun.

Determine the case of the adjective by the case of the noun.

The sun quietly rises over the large village.

It rises (over what? where?) over the village (T. p.).

Above the village (what?) large (Such as).

Sample reasoning.

Adjective large refers to the word village.

Village is a neuter noun (village), stands in the instrumental case (rises (over what?) Above the village), in the singular.

This means that the adjective big also stands in the middle gender, in the instrumental case , in the singular (over the village (what?) Big).

Unstressed case ending of an adjective - is a spelling.

Methods for checking the unstressed case ending of an adjective in the singular:

1.

a) determine the gender and case of an adjective by the gender and case of the noun to which the adjective refers; b) remember what ending is written for the adjective in this case and gender, and write it.

2. Choose the adjective in the same case and gender, but with a stressed ending.

3. Check the ending of the adjective at the end of the question to which the adjective answers.

In the cloudless sky an airplane was flying.

flew (in what? where?) in the sky, in the sky (as om ?) cloudless oh (blue).

Pins:

  • the end of the adjective is checked at the end of the question to which it answers;
  • the unstressed adjective ending is written in the same way as the stressed .

Remember!

Nominative singular masculine is the initial form of the adjective.

In this form, the endings -th, -y do not coincide with the ending of the question word (which one?), so the spelling of these endings must be remembered.

Black (coffee), summer (rain).

Accusative case of adjectives.

I see (what?) sea oh coast,

I see (what?) morning snow.

I see (what?) beautiful house .

Remember!

In the masculine accusative , the endings -y, -y do not coincide with the ending of the question word (what?), therefore the spelling of these endings must be remembered.

Please note!

Form of the feminine instrument can be formed using the variant endings - oh/-ey and -oy/-ey:

blue and blue , blue and blue .

Bookish and poetic speech uses both endings. In scientific and business speech, the use of the ending -oy / -ey is not accepted.

Yellow birches threaded
Shine in blue azure.
(I. Bunin)

What, dense forest, thoughtful,
Dark sadness oh clouded?
(A. Koltsov)

Remember!

Plural adjectives accusative:

answer the question which ones? and have endings -s, -s if combined with inanimate nouns;

answer the question which ones? and have the endings -s, -ih, if combined with animate nouns.

Examples:

I see (what?) new th (what?) at home.

I see (what?) young th (who?) people.
