Addie Model Project:
Adjectives-Lesson 1
I. Analysis Phase:
- Audience:
This project targets a primary audience of students in the elementary level, grades 3
and 4. It also benefits a secondary audience which is any interested party whether
student or teacher wishing to use this lesson.
- Learning style:
This lesson is intended to be used as a form of blended learning. It includes the use
of internet and digital media. The students first go through with the lesson alone and
build up their knowledge individually. At the end of the lesson, they meet up with the
teacher and discuss some key issues related to the lesson.
- Physical environment:
The environment in which the students go through the lesson may be chosen by the
teacher. It could either be in an internet lab where each student works individually,
or it could be home-based where they work in front of their own computers.
Depending on the age of the students, the teacher may contact the parents so as they
could set up the lesson for their children and simply watch over them so that they do
not get distracted.
- Instructional objectives:
Students will be able to define adjectives.
Students will be able to identify adjectives.
- Pre-existing knowledge:
There is a certain amount of knowledge that the students will have toalready know
in order to complete this project. This knowledge is gained in previous years. It
includes:
 Basic knowledge of how to use a computer and access the internet
 Pre-acquired knowledge of naming words (nouns) and verbs
- Timeline: 10 minutes

II. Design Phase:
- Lesson planning, activities and exercises:
The student watches a short video that contains the definition of adjectives.
The student will be asked to give a definition. Then he is provided with the definition
found in the video.
A short explanation of adjectives with different examples follows.
The student then does an exercise in which he should choose the sentence with the
correct adjective that describes the noun.
The student will finally play a game on a provided website to see if he truly knows
what adjectives are and how to identify them,
- Assessment method: The game at the end of the lesson serves as assessment for
the student. At the end of the game he will see how many answers he got right and
how many answers were incorrect. He could also repeat the game several times (each
time with different sentences) until he’s sure he is able to identify adjectives
correctly.
- Media selection: This lesson will be based on a power point document. The
teacher provides the students with the power point file in form of a slideshow with
restricted editing. The students simply click on the file and the lesson will start.
The file includes:
 A short video (1 minute) downloaded from the following you tube link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAeiDuXc6RI, then trimmed to the
desired suitable length and incorporated into the power point. The student
clicks on the play button and the video starts.
 The power point itself will include an explanation of adjectives with examples.
The student will read the explanation and examples to gain a better
understanding of adjectives.
 An exercise will be prepared using power point and interactive tools such as
trigger so that the student can get direct feedback on the exercise he is doing.
The student will be given a picture followed by two sentences each containing
an adjective describing the noun in the picture. The student will have to
choose the correct describing adjective. If he chooses correctly, the feedback

will be a tick and the sentence ‘Well Done’ will appear. If he chooses wrongly,
the feedback will be an ‘x’ and the sentence ‘Oops that’s not the correct
sentence’ will appear; the student will then change his answer and choose the
sentence with the correct adjective.
Since this exercise is not an evaluative one, the student might not be able to
track how many answers he got right. It simply aims at solidifying his
knowledge about adjectives.
 The student finally moves on to a slide where he is provided with a hyperlink
to https://www.turtlediary.com/game/adjective-in-a-sentence.html that
directs him to the game he will play online called “Burst the Adjective
Bubble”. It also serves as an assessment method since the student can keep
track of how many answers he got right and can also repeat the game with
different sentences to make sure he has fully understood the idea.
