Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to use adjectives well?

 I love bringing out Brian Cleary's picture book Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What is an Adjective? I use it when teaching students to not always choose the first descriptive word (adjective) that pops into their heads. The book helps me illustrate what an interesting adjective is.
