Everyone knows Waldo, so today I tried a time tested approach to adjectives with Zapperclass with great success. Using a scan from a Where's Waldo book I asked each student to pick a person in the painting and describe it to two of his friends. If any of these picked the right person they got to exercise their descriptive powers next. The conversation went something like this:
Zapperkid 1: Ok, my man is blue. He looks angry and has a saucer in his hand. He is wearing a yellow and black sweater.
Zapperkid 2: Yes, I can see him now it is the third guy on the right, the one beneath the table.
And so, in addition to working with adjectives, they got a small taste of prepositions as well.
