This activity came from a class when I was leaving comments for the latest instalment of comments4kids. I was visiting a class blog in the USA, All Things Preeteen and I thought, wow that's a clever idea, so I threw out the intended lesson and told the students to come up with six words to describe themselves. The students really enjoyed it (and it was a lot harder than they had thought!) and it got the day off to a really positive start! Thanks so much to 'Comments4kids' andThese are some of the results from our students:
Vitolina - talented, quick, funny, smart, nice, Vitolina.

Rachana - sporty, funny, nice, awesome, important, smart.

ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed reading the words you have used to describe yourselves. We are trying very hard to use describing words in our writing and oral language.
Keep up the wonderful work!

Interesting idea. It's always hard to think of words to describe yourself I think. It's a great task to improve knowledge of adjectives.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the teacher has them reflecting on themselves. This is a really awesome little drill to do to keep them thinking on their toes. And by the way Scott, I'm sure your not that ugly. And I'm crying laughing seeing some of these word. Love it!
