to change on the adjective in order to match the noun.

- During this activity, students have the opportunity to practice
the adjective agreement of adjectives that end in o and will be
prompted to consider how to match adjectives that end in e,
and consonants.
- Explain that adjectives that end in e only need to be matched
on number.
- Using the slide show: ask students to indicate how to change the
adjective in the brackets to match the noun.
Guiding Questions:

discussed earlier? Which ones?

we might do for adjectives that end in consonants. Explain that
consonants only need to be changed to match the number the
same as adjectives that end in e.
