Videos about Adjectives


School House Rock video on adjectives.  I remember watching these videos as a kid.  Many of the little jingles and visuals still stick with me to this day.  I think anytime you can make something more visual and entertaining for kids the topic will stick with them better.

Here is another video.  This one would be great for all students.  It has some higher level vocabulary.  It mentions vociferous  and putrid.  This will help push students thinking when using modifiers.  It will encourage them to be as descriptive as possible.  For example, students will learn to use words such as "gigantic" instead of saying just "big."

Here is another great introduction video for kids.  Starting by describing people I think is a great way to introduce adjectives.  Making sure to encourage students to focus on the way a person looks, act, and feels to describe them.  Be sure students are not describing people only by their profession which would be a noun.
