Bellwork: The Delayed Adjective
On one side of your notecard, copy the sample sentences.

Barbara Kinsolver, Animal Dreams Julia Alvarez, "Snow" George Orwell, "A Hanging"
 * Single Delayed Adjective: People under the helicopter ducked down, __afraid__, as if they were being visited by a plague or a god.**
 * Multiple delayed adjectives: Each snowflake was different, Sister Zoe said, like a person, __irreplaceable and beautiful__.**
 * Delayed adjective phrases: A dog came bounding among us with a loud volley of barks and leapt round us, __wild with glee at finding so many human beings together.__**

On the other side of your notecard, copy the description of the opening adjective.


 * An adjective describes a noun or a pronoun. A delayed adjective may be a single word or the first word in an adjective phrase. An adjective phrase begins with an adjective and then continues the description. A comma punctuates a delayed adjective- one comma if it occurs at the end of the sentence, two if earlier in the sentence.**
