This document provides an exercise for students to practice using descriptive adjectives. It includes instructions to underline physical appearance adjectives, circle psychological description adjectives, and classify them into groups. Students are asked to use adjectives like "noisy" and "silly" to describe Mr. Men pictures. They also define adjectives, write opposites, describe Mr. Men characters, and design their own Mr. Men character with a thinking map. The goal is for students to learn and demonstrate their understanding of different types of descriptive adjectives.
