Alaskan Adjective Adventure

Welcome to Teaching Off Trail!

Bringing the world to your students & your students into the world.

***NOW AVAILABLE AS A DIGITAL RESOURCE PERFECT FOR REMOTE LEARNING!***

These tasks are designed to expand students’ adjective vocabulary using spectacular images and interesting creative writing practice. This work is the perfect launching pad for their writing—-they are the ones creating and dreaming. It is a fan favorite and has made more than one student believe they are a WRITER.

These tasks consist of:

• Using vivid images of Alaska, choose excellent adjectives that describe each one; and
• Write a setting description for these images using the new vocabulary.

All of my adjective works are written around the theme of the grand state of Alaska because I thought, “what better place to DESCRIBE?!” Using a cohesive theme and powerful visuals will provide your students with another memory anchor to what adjectives are and the lessons learned. Add to that, the pictures and the non-fiction articles on the geography, animals, and plants that make Alaska fantastic will teach them about our most magnificent and radically different state.

The varied activities included in this work will have your students looking up definitions, choosing which picture they think it applies to, and writing descriptive, engaging story settings. They will be writing about geography, botany, and zoology. Pretty great topic, huh? We want to make memories here so let’s have a little fun and throw in some gorgeous nature for inspiration.

Teaching Off Trail’s Alaskan Adjective Cruise work introduces adjectives in a fun, engaging way using a teamwork sketching activity where one partner describes a picture using as many adjectives as possible while the other tries to recreate it. The second task is just as fun where students first write a short story using NO adjectives (not easy to do!), then go back and rewrite it using all the adjectives they can to make it interesting. It is so engaging and memorable…

My Alaskan Adjective Safari work takes this practice to the next level, challenging students to go on Safari to find adjectives in an interesting, non-fiction article about Alaska. They also answer comprehension and connection questions about what they read because the content in these articles is worth remembering!

If you think these are ALL great… there’s always the BUNDLE!

I hope this work brings you ease and your students some memories!
