Purpose
Teach students how to recognise an adjective group and classify its components into describers, classifiers, intensifiers and qualifiers.
Description
This lesson introduces adjectives vs adjective groups, and breaks adjective groups into describers, classifiers, intensifiers and qualifiers. We discuss how adverbs can be confusing. We do a fair bit of rewriting, swapping out similar word groups, as well as some light highlighting and a couple of checkpoint pieces.
