Speaker 3: What's an aggtivis an adjective.
Speaker 1: It's a kind of word that describes how something is.
Speaker 1: It could be a word like big, short, or scary. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to learn about adjectives. Now, I want
Speaker 1: to tell a scary story.
Speaker 2: Well maybe we can do both.
Speaker 1: How about you start your story, Lisa, Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to hear. Hear, Lisa, use the flashlight to light up
Speaker 1: your face from below for a scary effect.
Speaker 2: Whoo do I look scary?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: You look spooky?
Speaker 2: What a great.
Speaker 1: Adjective, Hockey, No more activities, I'm going to tell my story.
Speaker 2: Okay, here goes.
Speaker 1: One night a boy was walking back from school when
Speaker 1: he saw a house.
Speaker 2: He decided to go inside the house.
Speaker 3: Huh, that's not scary so far.
Speaker 2: Something's missing. Well I'm not finished.
Speaker 1: I know you're not finished, Lisa, but maybe you could
Speaker 1: add some words that might help to make it start
Speaker 1: sounding a little scary, like what. Well, remember I was
Speaker 1: talking about adjectives. We could use those to help.
Speaker 3: I forgot what those uh hoomi joobies were.
Speaker 1: Adjectives are words that describe vibe how something is. So
Speaker 1: instead of just saying one night, maybe you could describe
Speaker 1: what kind of night it was? Was it a clear night,
Speaker 1: a beautiful night, or maybe a stormy night.
Speaker 2: Oh I like stormy. That makes it sounds foolgier.
Speaker 3: Yeah it does.
Speaker 1: Now you see how adjectives can be helpful. We can
Speaker 1: try a few more for this part of the story.
Speaker 1: How about we describe the boy and the house. Was
Speaker 1: he a tall boy, a smart boy, a little boy?
Speaker 1: Let's go with little okay? And what about the house.
Speaker 1: Was it a nice house, a new house, a blue house.
Speaker 3: Make it a old house? So it's creeping and scary? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Hellkay. So here's the new version one stormy. A little boy.
Speaker 1: Was walking back from school when he saw an old house.
Speaker 1: He decided to go inside the old house much better,
Speaker 1: thank you, Okay, I'll keep going. As he walked to
Speaker 1: the hallway, he saw a hole in the floor.
Speaker 2: Suddenly, a hand came out of the hole.
Speaker 1: And tried to grab the little boy. Why are you laughing, Elliott?
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be scary.
Speaker 3: Because I imagine the fluffy, white hand like mine, coming out
Speaker 3: of the hole.
Speaker 2: Fluffy and white.
Speaker 1: Those adjectives describe a panda bare hand.
Speaker 2: But I don't want it to be a panda bear
Speaker 2: hand for my story. That's not scary.
Speaker 1: Well, That's why adjectives are important. They give us more
Speaker 1: information about the thing that they are describing, so we
Speaker 1: know what it's like. Hello, this is a perfect chants
Speaker 1: to use another adjective. What are some other adjectives that
Speaker 1: we could use to make the hand seem scarier? Green? Long?
Speaker 2: I like both of them? Can I use both? I
Speaker 2: think a long green hand is creepier. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 2: a zombby.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can use more than one adjective for something
Speaker 1: I like long green hand. Now, just out a word
Speaker 1: to describe the hallway and the story will be much better.
Speaker 2: Pink dark. A pink allway isn't scary. That's true, that
Speaker 2: it's pretty. I want the hallway to be dark, that scarier. Okay,
Speaker 2: a dark hallway, great job, This is fun. Okay, let
Speaker 2: me try it again. Here those As he walks down
Speaker 2: the dark hallway, he saw a hole in the floor.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, a long green hand came out of the hole
Speaker 1: and tried to grab the little boy.
Speaker 2: Spooky, But what happened next?
Speaker 1: Well, the little boy ran outside, screaming and never came
Speaker 1: back to the old house again. Be and.
Speaker 2: Creepy.
Speaker 1: Well done, Lisa, I didn't know using adjectives could be
Speaker 1: so fun. Fun one of my favorite adjectives. And yes,
Speaker 1: they sure are fun and useful too. Oh look the
Speaker 1: powers back Holloway. Well, now that it's not spooky, maybe
Speaker 1: we can tell a different kind of story, like an adventure.
Speaker 2: For a love story.
Speaker 1: Oh, great idea. I'm sure we'll use different adjectives for
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: I wonder what words we'll think of.
