ASSESS IT!

Although the quick prints can be used as part of your informal assessment routine, this unit also includes three different formal assessments. Each assessment does include an answer key.

Formal Assessments

• Adjectives Assessment- Students work to complete sentences using word banks and multiple choice questions to asses their learning about adjectives that describe.
• Adjectives that Compare- Students work to use comparatives and superlatives to complete sentences.
• All Adjectives Assessment- An assessment that includes both descriptive adjectives and adjectives that compare.

Adjective Writing

As teachers, we know that just "knowing" about adjectives isn't enough. We need our students to use them in their own writings. This pack also includes a writing activity with two craft options.

• Amazing Me! Students work through the writing process to complete this expository writing piece about what makes them amazing! Includes primary and regular writing lines and self assessment rubric. Choose from two different craft options for publishing!
  • Craft One: Students create a word cloud of adjectives that describe them.
  • Craft Two: Students use their face as part of their craft option.
