Framing Your Thoughts

In Writing (Framing Your Thoughts), we have been working on subject describers.  Subject describers are another name for adjectives.  However, not all adjectives are subject describers.  The different types of subject describers are: looks like/ physical, behavior/ personality, number, ownership, and set-aparts.  So far, we have covered the describers behavior, looks like, and number. 
Examples:
Looks like/ physical: large, oval, yellow, mushy, salty, rotten
Behavior: angry, peppy, stubborn, powerful
Number: several, neither, one, five

You can have your child write a sentence using subject describers or ask them to provide you with examples of each.
