Reflection
This was one of the most fun Language Arts lessons Ive taught thus far. The students loved revisiting
their childhoods when reading Old Hat, New Hat by Dr. Seuss and they could clearly see the hats that
were being described. Before reading the script, I would put the book on the document camera and ask
the students to give me ideas of words that they would use to describe the hat. They loved that and it
helped them understand the concept of adjectives more.
When doing the adjective hats project, many of my students got really into it! I did have some that
chose to draw their hats instead of making a cut out, however even they got really into the drawings.
Once the activity was finished, the ones who cut out and designed their hats wanted to wear them. They
had so much fun! The best part? In their next writing assignment, I noticed them using more adjectives
to describe the events, people, places, etc.
