Title - Teach Describing Words
By - Mina Bellia
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Grade Level - 1
Book:
Go Away Big, Green Monster by Ed Emberley
Note:This is a great book with describing words on each page. The illustrations are die-cuts, and kids absolutely love it.
Objectives:
Students will identify describing words on each page of the story
Students will help the teacher create a chart of all the words
Students will draw their own monster and write a sentence with 2 describing words
Procedure:
- Introduce describing words to the class.
- Introduce the book; ask students which words in the title are describing words (big, green).
- Tell students you will read the book twice; first, so they can hear the story, and again so they can look for describing words.
- Read story.
- Make a chart on the board or on large chart paper labeled describing words, you could also separate the words by color, shape, size, etc.
- Go through the story again (only the first half is really necessary) and have children raise hands to tell you what word they see. Write all the words on the chart.
- Introduce assignment: Tell students they will now get to create their own monster and write one sentence that has 2 describing words for their monster - I used paper that was half blank, half lined.
- Give examples or show one that you have made Ex: My monster is pink and hairy. Keep giving examples until everyone understands.
- Have student go to their seats and do assignment independently.
Final Notes:
- This lesson takes about 45 minutes to read the book and do the assignment.
- You can have the students share also.
