Content Summary:
An adjective is a describing word. Adjectives are used to describe nouns or pronouns. These
include, people, feelings, animals, objects etc.
These descriptive words can help give information about size, shape, age, color, origin, material,
purpose, feelings, condition, and personality, or texture. Think about how you would describe
your mother, teacher, best friend, cat, dog, bedroom, or favorite piece of clothing.
That mother is nice.
The cat is black and white.
This bedroom is big.
Joan’s favourite shirt is red.
The adjectives can also be placed before the noun, or word, they describe.
For example:
The red shirt is in the closet.
The nice mother likes to bake cookies every week.
The bed is in the corner of my big bedroom.
Adjectives can also describe how much or how many by using numbers with people, places, or
things. There can be five dogs at the park or several people on the playground. You check
out fifteen books at the library, or there may be only a few people in your class. .
Make sure that if you use coordinate adjectives, or two or more adjectives paired together, make
sure you use commas when you need them. You can find coordinate adjectives by placing the
word “and” between them, and if the sentence makes sense with the term “and,” then the
adjectives need a comma between them. Look at the following example for help:
The strong, healthy man ran the marathon.
[The strong and healthy man ran the marathon.]

The lesson was very intriguing to the students. The lesson began with a captivating introductory
activity and as the lesson went by, the activities were differentiated and fun. Each activity was
meaningful and connected to the other. All the objectives were met and even though it’s virtual
learning, the teacher did a good job a utilizing different materials and resources to cater to the
multiple intelligences. As it relates to weaknesses, because the activities were so captivating,
sometimes students seemed to forget the importance of muting their mics. Otherwise, it was a
good lesson from beginning to end.
