Week 2 IT 4
‘Describing the What’
Week 2 IT4
Describing the ‘What’
•This teacher led activity aims to introduce how adjectives describe nouns. This
activity is addressing the ‘What’ from the ‘Who’ ‘Does’ ‘What’, and focuses on
how to describe the ‘What’ with more details.
•Sentences illustrating how to describe the ‘What’ more fully are displayed in
the presentation and the children have an answer sheet containing the
sentences with the choice of 3 adjectives for each sentence, which they either
tick or cross depending if they think the word does or does not describe the
‘what’ in the picture.
•The teacher discusses the first 4 slides with the children e.g. ‘Red apple’,
where ‘Red’ (describes) the ‘apple’ (what)
If the child likes a red apple but only asks for an ‘apple’, they may get a green
apple instead, so it is important to describe the ‘what’ carefully with more
detail about colour, or size, shape or texture etc. The same with the next
example concerning a hat (big/small).
•The children are shown that the word before the‘ What’ (noun) describes the
‘What’ in more detail.
•The next 2 slides are an answer sheet for each child, to go alongside the IT
presentation, and should be printed and distributed to the children before
starting. During each slide, a pencil appears which is the cue for the children to
tick or cross the word on the sheet, and then to discuss it with the teacher and
class, prompted by the ‘why?’ which appears on screen. After this they receive
feedback on the screen.
•The child’s task is to tick or cross each word as it appears on screen, according
to it’s suitability to describe the ‘what’ in the picture.
