Instructional Ideas

• Have class members come up with their own sentences to change into attributive adjectives
• Include in a unit on proofreading or when discussing parts of speech

Classroom Considerations

• There is a subtle font color change to the example sentence that will not be perceptible if printed in black and white, but learners will still get the point

Pros

• Provides an answer key
• Each sentence comes with a long sentence for pupils' responses

Cons

• There is a typo in the instructions
