Adjective Project
On Thursday, the students were given a parent letter to take home about their adjective project. Students are to create a 3D depiction of an adjective. The students saw an example in class, which was the adjective puffy, spelled out in cotton balls. They also took a picture of this on their iPads---please ask to see this example!
Project Criteria are as follows:
- Choosing a correct adjective (not a noun, verb, etc)
- Correct spelling
- Creating a 3D project
- Neatness
- Class presentation of their word along with a complete sentence (which will be written in class).
