📚 Teaching Adjectives Before Nouns to Grade 1
This lesson plan provides a structured approach to teaching first-grade students how to correctly place adjectives before nouns. The goal is to enable students to enhance their descriptive writing skills by using adjectives effectively.

🎯 Objectives

🎯 Students will be able to define what an adjective is.
  🖍️ Students will be able to identify adjectives in a sentence.
  ✍️ Students will be able to correctly place adjectives before nouns in their writing.

🧰 Materials

📃 Whiteboard or chart paper
  🖍️ Markers or pens
  🖼️ Picture cards (showing various objects or animals)
  📝 Worksheet with sentence-building exercises

Warm-up Activity (5 minutes)

🗣️ Begin by asking students what words they can use to describe different objects in the classroom.
  👂 Write their suggestions on the board. For example: a big desk, a blue wall, a round clock.
  ❓ Introduce the term "adjective" as a word that describes a noun.

Main Instruction (20 minutes)

🖼️ Show picture cards one at a time. For each card, ask students to think of adjectives that describe the object or animal.
  ✍️ Write the noun on the board (e.g., "dog"). Then, brainstorm adjectives to describe it (e.g., "fluffy," "brown," "small").
  📝 Create sentences together, emphasizing the correct placement of the adjective before the noun: "a fluffy dog," "a brown dog," "a small dog."
  🗣️ Explain that the adjective usually comes before the noun to give more information about it.
  💡 Provide examples and non-examples: "a red ball" (correct) vs. "ball red" (incorrect).

📝 Practice Activity (15 minutes)

📃 Distribute the worksheet with sentence-building exercises.
  ✏️ The worksheet should include sentences with missing adjectives. For example: "The ______ cat sat on the mat."
  🧑‍🏫 Have students fill in the blanks with appropriate adjectives.
  🤝 Encourage students to share their sentences and explain why they chose those particular adjectives.

✅ Assessment (10 minutes)

✍️ Give each student a blank piece of paper.
  ✏️ Ask them to draw a picture of their favorite animal or object and write 2-3 sentences describing it, using adjectives correctly.
  🔎 Review their sentences to assess their understanding of adjective placement.
