Description: Let's help learners use adjectives to describe and reason about what they see. If they claim they see a silhouette of a pumpkin, can they support the claim by explaining WHY or HOW they know by describing the visible traits of the silhouette? This activity will give just the right support to get the discussion going. Sure, the shadow looks like a pumpkin…but is it? The element of surprise will keep your learners engaged. This resource includes: (1) Pre-teaching pages - 1 “adjective” concept introduction card - 2 drag-and-drop vocabulary learning cards (2 levels) - 13 adjectives (pointy, bumpy, zigzag/jagged, curvy, bent, round, straight, curly, skinny, fat/chubby/wide, flat, tall, short) (2) Skill application activity - 6 Mystery Shadow guessing cards - Visual supports (drag-and-drop adjectives) to describe and explain - Counterintuitive images to spice up the dialog! ◆ This deck is NOT meant to be a set of independent task cards. The activity should be interactive with lots of dialogs of guesses, wonders, and discoveries. ◆◆ Reproducing any part of this deck is STRICTLY is prohibited ◆◆ Have FUN!
