Amazing, Awesome, Astonishing Adjectives!

We are starting out this year learning about parts of speech so we can become incredible writers! My favorite part of speech is the adjective because it tends to make writing so much more interesting and fun to read. We learned about what an adjective is, why it is important and how to use one properly in a sentence. Then we brainstormed adjective lists in small groups.
Later students each created a "mini-me" me  and decorated their creation with adjectives that describe themselves! A few interesting adjectives that students used on their mini-me project: brilliant, sarcastic, hilarious, athletic, hardy, multilingual, gentle, lovely and spectacular.
