LINK to the resource on a unit to express possession: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Possessive-pronouns-nouns-adjectives-form-questions-for-Elementary-ESL-4344443 It is available at my other store: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/possessive-pronouns-nouns-adjectives-form-questions-for-elementary-esl?variant=14410814914609 Watch the video of the resource: I always use flashcards to introduce the grammar point. I wish I had all these resources when I was teaching at a school 30 years ago. I had to draw mine or use magazine cutouts. Well, time flies and here we are. Use the big flashcards to place the on the board as mine.They will give the use of the possessive adjectives in context. Teacher: I run to my school. Underline and point out I and My. Continue with the rest of cards. I also made some cutouts to make sentences. Teacher: My favorite color is pink. Students: Our favorite color is brown. Play is also a teaching tool to review this grammar point giving student access to communication and creation. Game 1: Play sentence association. Display all the cards on a table and have the students place a sentence next to the picture card just as your board example. And do even more, give them a blank rectangle and students write a sentence using a possessive adjective. Game 2: Match the subject pronoun to the adjective pronouns. Game 3. Make possessive adjectives sentences. Cut all the words from each sentence and have the students build the sentence and match to the picture cards. I glued each word onto fun foam to make their studier. Game 4. Sort the sentences into Possessive adjectives, form, questions. Or sort them using envelopes. I placed a big clip on the back of each envelope for standing purpose. I also glued the super children characters on each envelope. Game 5. Feed the zebra. I cut all the words from each sentence of the sentence association game. I grabbed an empty soda plastic bottle and glued the zebra printable. I managed to cut the mouth out. Students feed the zebra by reading each word. I made a short video. On the notebook. It is always fun to cut and glue. There is a bundle for the Adjectives for teaching ESL Elementary students.

I LOVE saving figurative language until June - it's such a fun language unit ... and perfect for our "dreaming of summer brains". We finished up our EQAO testing mid week, and this onomatopoeia activity was the perfect break from testing. How fun is that??? Students chose two contrasting colours - one for the background and one for the word and border "bursting out of the page". They also needed newspaper (cut just a fraction smaller that the "bursting out of the page border" and glued the newspaper on top. They glued their word on top of that (we had brainstormed a lot of onomatopoeia words, but for some reason most of them chose SPLAT for their word). I also had them do a little shading under their letters for that little extra POP (see, I know some onomatopoeia words, too). ;) I had seen this awesome idea on Pinterest and followed it back to Artisan des Arts. Her examples are FANTASTIC!! We also wrote simile poems this week. I found a little template HERE for the students to use for their rough copies. When students were finished their templates, I had them write out their good copies, and illustrate a few lines with a small image. I hung these up, too ... LOVING our bulletin board switch up ... even this late in the school year!!! (I have two of these "smART class" bulletin boards side by side in the classroom. 15 more school days left ... I think I can ... I think I can ... Happy Friday!!!
