As and answer questions about key details in a text.
First grade students will be able to determine the describing
words that describe how many in sentences given to them.
Post-It notes, sentence strip packs with words on the sentence
strips that make up a sentence,
Teacher will ask students to remember what types of
describing words we have been discussing in past weeks
Possible answers: words that describe color, shape, size,
sound, feel, touch, and smell
1) Teacher will explain and model different describing
words that describe how many on the white board.
2) Teacher will pass out Post-It notes and ask students to
write some words they think might be describing words
that describe how many on the Post-It notes and place
Post-It notes on the board.
3) Teacher and students will review describing words
written on Post-It notes by writing correct answers on the
board for all students to see.
4) Teacher will provide more explanation and examples if
needed.
5) Teacher will then dictate sentences with describing words
that describe how many. Students will be required to hold
up the correct amount of fingers of the describing word
in the sentence. Example: For the sentence, She ate one
cookie, students would hold up one finger.
6) Student table groups will complete the assessment
activity. Activity will have each table group receiving a
pack of sentence strips, each sentence strip containing
one word to a sentence. Students will be required to
figure out the order of the sentence and then determine
what word is the describing word that describes how
many in a sentence.
7) Teacher will walk around and observe students to
determine if they understand the concept.
Teacher and students will review sentence strip activity by
having students read their sentence sentences out loud and
divulging the describing word that describes how many in the
sentence.

Assessment

instead of writing it on a Post-It note, students will be allowed

to hold up their describing word sentence strip while saying it
instead of just saying the describing word on the sentence
strip
Students will be informally assessed on their ability to find
the describing words in the sentences. An individual activity
and formal assessment will take place the following day to
ensure students completely understood material being taught.
Remediation will be provided, if needed.
