Adjectives in the Miniature Environment

Age
6-9.

Materials

 * The pieces of the miniature environment
 * Corresponding reading labels which now have the article, adjective and noun
 * The grammar symbols

Presentation

 * 1) The children each bring an object from the environment and place them at random on the table.
 * 2) The directress writes a label; "the broken plate", which has the adjective written in red.
 * 3) The child reads it silently and places it with the object.
 * 4) He identifies the function of each word, placing the symbols over the words.
 * 5) Each child receives a label.
 * 6) Here again the exercise of tearing and rearranging the words may be done to emphasize the position of the adjective.
 * 7) Each child may draw and copy the label, pasting the symbols appropriately in her journal.
 * 8) The old miniature environment labels which had the article and noun should be replaced by labels including adjectives.
