Nouns and Adjectives

Teachers tell us these strategies are simple to remember, generate thoughtful discussion, and help students practice critical thinking skills.

You can use these questions with any work in the NCMALearn image gallery. Pick a work of art. Pick a strategy. Be surprised by what you and your students discover together.
