Instructional Ideas

• Include in a longer language arts assessment or when placing students into leveled groups
• Have class members write their own sentences, complete with attributive and predicate adjectives

Classroom Considerations

• Worksheet border is in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't affect quality
• Adjectives are already underlined in each sentence, eliminating some of the challenge for older pupils

Pros

• Helpful review tool for new readers, English learners, or mainstream classes alike
• Provides an answer key

Cons

• None
