Activity Summary
Introductory video which includes the adjective song.

Adjectives Song, Adjective Song (Adjectives


by Melissa)

Rationale
Video with corresponding song is
used to:
-

Link the new concept of


adjectives with the parts of
speech that were previously
introduced.
Introduce academic language
Build background knowledge by
providing concrete audio visual
examples, which supports both
visual and verbal modalities 66%

of the students prefer.


1. Display a picture of an elephant in the inner circle
of a bubble thinking map and write the word noun
below it in green.

Instructional
Input

2. Introduce adjectives to the students by asking


them think of words that describe an elephant.
3. As the class brainstorms the words write them in
the outer bubbles of the map, use red for
adjectives.
4. Introduce the definition of an adjective and add it
to the top of the thinking map. Write the word
adjective in red, and write the word noun in green.
5. Ask the students to think of a sentence using the
adjectives they brainstormed.
6. Use this class created poster as an anchor chart and
display it in the classroom, so that students can
refer to it as they work with adjectives.

1. The use of a graphic


organizer that incorporates a
picture provides a visual way
to engage all students,
including English learners
and special education
students.
2. Collaboratively creating the
anchor chart and displaying
the chart helps the students
by exposing them to the
concept over a longer period
of time.
3. Color is used to reinforce the
academic vocabulary in a
visual way.

Example:

Student
Practice/Clos
ure

Teacher provides list of adjectives:


Nice, cool, good, happy, tall, red, blue, round, soft,
loud, sweet, green, tasty, big, fast, easy
In small heterogeneous, supportive, groups students
practice using and identifying adjectives by creating an
adjective poster which includes:
-

Adjective
Definition of the adjective
A picture the describes the meaning the adjective

1. This activity incorporates the


intrapersonal modality as
students collaborate in a
group.
2. Students use multiple
modalities to represent their
adjectives:
Auditory
Visual
Kinesthetic
Students practice oral

Each group also comes up with a gesture or


movement that represents the adjective.

Closure: Students present their posters and gestures


or movements to the class. Posters are displayed in the
classroom.
Modification for advanced students: students add
synonym and antonym to the poster.
Extension: Students find and circle adjectives in a
leveled text.

Reflection
How did the

modifications
?

Universal design largely influenced my lesson plan modification. Since this classroom is
extremely culturally diverse, more than half of the students are below standard in content
knowledge, and students prefer a wide range of modalities, universal design ideas are a great
way to support this diverse group of learners. I modified the lesson to include multiple
modalities, added a technology component, visual, auditory, interactive and collaborative
component to best accommodate all learners.

How did the


principles of

SDAIE principles largely influenced the modifications:

I incorporated the following SDAIE strategies:


1. Concept mapping: the Thinking map serves as a visual and interactive way to
demonstrate the concept.
2. Co-op Co-op: students work in small, teacher created, heterogeneous, collaborative,
supportive groups, which foster a non-threatening environment for EL students to
practice their oral language skills.
3. Poster: students create collaborative visual representations that are shared with the
class.
