If verbs and nouns are meat and bread, adverbs and adjectives are sauce and pickles. To get my students to spice up their narrative sandwiches I decided to go way back to basics and practice placing adjectives and adverbs. This worksheet could really be adapted for any level by providing more complex sentences and encouraging more sophisticated vocabulary. Sky's the limit!
Start by brainstorming adverbs and adjectives. Students can show you what they already know, and you can take the chance to feed in new words.
Students progress to adding adverbs and adjectives to simple sentences.
Happy sandwich-making!

Hi Sam, you could extend this activity by giving them a 'bare' story. Just basic facts and then let them 'make' the story using their adverbs and adjectives. Maybe a small prize for the best one to help motivate them if they need it.
