Adjectives are responsible for coating language with mood and emotion. Second graders begin to focus on adding more detail, and therefore more interest, to their vocabulary with lessons on adjectives. These adjective resources introduce second graders to this creative component of grammar.

Emotive Adjective Resources for Second Graders

Students in second grade are introduced to adjectives, a form of creative expression through language. They learn how adjectives differ from adverbs and how to recognize them in a sentence. There are many resources provided by Education.com that center on second grade adjective practice. The lesson plan STRETCH: Adding Details to Simple Sentences encourages kids to be more specific with language because utilizing descriptive words makes writing more interesting and storytelling more energetic. Mad, Sad, Happy, Glad: Character Feelings is a lesson plan that teaches kids new adjective vocabulary words that relate to human emotions.

There are a few games that help with adjective recognition, too. Adjectives are nouns’ partners in crime, so the game Word Transporter: Adjectives and Nouns teaches what adjectives are appropriate to use with certain nouns. Imagine Life on a Cloud is a hands-on activity that encourages kids to get outside and look to the sky. They will spot clouds and come up with fantastic, imaginative descriptors for what they see.

Second graders’ language abilities bloom with the adjective resources supplied in the Learning Library.

IV. The main question of the lesson is on the board:

What role do adjectives play in the language?

• Guys, today at the lesson we have to answer this question. Carefully read the words written on the board and divide them into two groups:

Mink, smooth, red, jackdaw, chanterelles, red, bow, fluffy.

(children call the words of the first and second groups and check their answers on the table that appears on the screen.)

mink	Fluffy
	Red -9000 9000 9000 Red Red Ries
Fox	Red
Galka	Smooth

• For what attribute did you determine the words in the first column? (These are nouns. )
• Prove. (These words answer the questions who? what? and designate the subject).
• What other feature unites these words? (Polysemy). (Children give two meanings of each word).
• What signs of nouns do you know? (Nouns are animate, inanimate, proper, common nouns, singular and plural, feminine, masculine and neuter).

Projection screen recording:

• n. hours, m.
• noun h., w. R.
• noun, soul, common noun, pl. h., ?

• Which parsing scheme fits the noun written on the screen? (Children find the corresponding entry).
• What does the question mark mean? (Gender cannot be determined in the plural. It is necessary to put the word in the singular).
• How to clarify the meaning of polysemantic words? (According to the meaning of the sentence in which this word occurs).

V. Let’s turn to the second group of words. What questions do these words answer? Complete this column in your own words, children give examples).

• What do all these words have in common? (They answer the same questions).
• Let’s try to answer. Why do we need such words in Russian.

Projection screen text.

A) Spring has come. Snow is melting. Streams murmur. The sun is shining. Birds are flying.

B) Early spring has come. The last snow is melting. Talkative streams murmur. The gentle sun shines. Vociferous birds fly.

• What is the first text about? (About spring).
• What is the second text about? (Also about spring).
• Can these texts be considered the same? ( Yes and no).
• Prove it.
• What distinguishes the first text from the second? (Children argue their conclusion).

Conclusion: adjectives are needed for the beauty of the description, make speech more figurative, interesting and vivid.

• The second text uses the adjective last to describe snow. But this adjective is not so pretty. After all, one could take, for example, the word fluffy or the word silver. (No. The adjective

last is the most accurate description of snow.)

Children justify their conclusion.

Conclusion: adjectives are needed for the accuracy of the description.

• Let’s try to describe winter and spring snow as accurately as possible. ( A card is given, children put arrows. Work in pairs.)

Snow

Winter Spring

Last

Sparkle

Wet

Prilute

Dirty

Silver

Soft

9000 9000 9000 2 Svei .

Conclusion: if you accurately describe an object using adjectives, you can recognize it without even seeing it.

Eye exercises.

Owl. Close your eyes for 3-4 s. Open your eyes wide, look into the distance and do not blink for 5-6 s.

Funny faces. Depict the faces of various animals or fairy-tale characters (a grimace of a hedgehog — the lips are extended forward — to the left — to the right — up — down, then in a circle to the left side, to the right side).

Nose painting. Look at the tablet and memorize the word or letter. Then close your eyes. Imagine that the nose has become so long that it reaches the tablet. Write the selected element with your nose. Open your eyes to look at the sign.

Level 2

The animal was running fast. His front legs …, back … just flashed. We saw … ears, … tail. The body is covered with … wool. The beast has … teeth, but he does not know how to defend himself with them.

What animal did you read about? Name it. (It’s hard to guess what kind of animal it is. A squirrel, an elk, a hare cannot defend themselves with their teeth.) Words appear on the board: small, short, long, large, short, gray, large and strong.

• Which part of speech helped you answer the question?
• What do adjectives mean?

• Now try to describe yourself using adjectives. Start with the word «I». (I am brave, strong, etc.).
