I love when I find interactive resources for Language Arts that work great on the SMART Board.
This morning I was looking for some interactive resources for describing adjectives and I came across an activity called the Adjective Detective.
This is a wonderful interactive lesson that reviews the different types of adjectives and then allows students to check their understanding by taking a quiz or playing a game. The activity works great on a SMART Board, especially when displayed in full screen mode.
Upon further investigation, I found that this activity is part of The Children's University of Manchester website provided by the University of Manchester.
In addition to the Adjective Detective, the Literacy section has some great activities including a World Language Map, a word origin activity, and a wonderful interactive activity for learning about idioms.
You can view all the activities in full screen. However, the full screen option did not work in Firefox on my system so I had to use the Flash Game Maximizer add-on. The full screen option worked fine when using the Internet Explorer browser. Sharing Is Caring!
the most effective, affordable, and fun way to learn how to use the SMART Notebook software
