Title - Carousel Poetry - Adjectives
By - Gianna Cozzali
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Grade Level - 3

Objective:
    The students will be able to identify adjectives in various pieces of "color" poetry by working as a team in a cooperative experience.
Materials:
    Chart paper (one piece per team), markers, copies of packets of "Hailstones and Halibut Bones" poems (all "color poems" are included in packets and given to each group).
Procedure:
    The students are placed in four groups (this number can be modified). Each team receives a packet of the "color poems" and a piece of chart paper. The chart paper will have a color name written at the top (the color of the poem they received). They are asked to read one "color" poem in the packet and bullet a list of the adjectives that they find in the poem on the paper. The teams are given just a few minutes to work on the poem. Then, at a given time, the teacher tells the students to pass their chart paper to the next team (this is the carousel part). The groups will read another poem and work on the adjective list for the color listed at the top of the new chart paper. This process continues until all teams have had the opportunity to work on each "color" poem. It becomes more and more challenging as the teams receive papers that already have adjectives written on them and they must find adjectives that were missed by the other teams.
