Assessment

Assess students understanding of the material by having them answer questions from the video activity, worksheet activity, and their group work activity.

Differentiation

To differentiate for different learning styles, provide visual learners with pictures of nouns and adjectives, hands-on practice with nouns and adjectives, and guided practice to identify proper nouns. Auditory learners may benefit from taking notes and repeating questions out loud.
