Adding Adjectives to Describe Nouns Teacher Page

Teacher Page Students will write news stories to accompany each picture that depicts hurricane disaster. You can choose to have each student write a story with one picture, have students work in teams or partnerships, write class stories, etc. It might be helpful to print the pictures for students to use for their writing. After stories are written, students can record their broadcasts with Audacity (free download), Easi-speak mic (if you have one), Google Voice account (free to sign up), or any other audio recorder that you have available.

Remember to use lots of adjectives to give them a clear picture of what you see. Adjectives describe what kind, how many, color, and size.
