Roll A Noun Group
In this game students will roll a die and come up with descriptive adjectives to describe the provided nouns. Students will learn that they can create richer and more specific descriptions through the use of noun groups and phrases. It is a simple game suitable for middle to upper primary students and perfect for a whole class activity, writing rotations or fast finishers.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use noun groups/phrases and verb groups/phrases and prepositional phrases to build descriptions in texts.
- We are learning to use adjectival and adverbial clauses to build descriptions in texts and understand that a complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction, e.g. because, if, that.
