Transcript: Apples, Adjectives and Animals - Oh My!
(soft music plays)
An animated title against a sunny sky reads "TVOKids Power Hour of Learning."
In off, Laura says WELCOME TO TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S PRIMARY LESSON:
APPLES, ADJECTIVES AND ANIMALS -
OH MY!
A caption reads "Primary I-3. Teacher Joel." Joel is in his mid-twenties, with a soft beard and short black hair. He wears a black shirt and headphones.
Joel says HI, STUDENTS, AND WELCOME TO
TODAY'S
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
I'M TEACHER JOEL AND
I'LL BE JOINING YOU TODAY
FOR THE NEXT HOUR,
WHERE WE, TOGETHER,
ARE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE
LOT OF FUN
AND DO SOME INCREDIBLE LEARNING.
TOGETHER WE'LL BE CHECKING OUT
SOME AMAZING SHOWS HERE ON TVO
AND I'M GONNA BE POPPING BACK
IN TO GIVE YOU SOME LESSONS
AND LEARNING IDEAS THAT
YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO CONNECT
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR
SCREEN TO SOME LEARNING AND FUN.
NOW, JUST LIKE WE DO AT SCHOOL,
I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO SIT IN A PLACE
WHERE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
AND READY TO FOCUS WITHOUT
GETTING DISTRACTED.
SO, MAYBE YOU'RE
WATCHING AT HOME ON TV,
OR EVEN ON
THE INTERNET ON A COMPUTER,
BUT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,
I WANT YOU TO SIT IN A PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN SHOW US
YOUR BEST LOOKING, LISTENING,
AND GETTING READY FOR LEARNING.
NOW, BEFORE YOU GET TOO SETTLED,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO MAKE
SURE YOU BRING A PIECE OF PAPER
AND SOMETHING
YOU CAN WRITE WITH.
SO, IF YOU'RE AT HOME AND
YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE NOTEBOOK,
OR A MARKER IN YOUR FAVOURITE
COLOUR, THAT'S GONNA BE PERFECT.
MAKE SURE YOU BRING THAT
WITH YOU AS YOU GET SETTLED,
BECAUSE AS OUR
LEARNING GOES ON TODAY,
YOU AND I ARE GOING
TO BE WORKING TOGETHER,
AND I'LL BE ASKING YOU
TO JOT DOWN SOME IDEAS
FOR YOUR LEARNING.
NOW, TO GET US STARTED,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION,
AND JUST LIKE WE DO AT SCHOOL,
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR
ANSWER BACK TO ME.
SO, MY QUESTION IS SIMPLE.
HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING?
He pauses and continues AWESOME. NOW, MAYBE SOME
OF YOU ANSWERED WITH,
"MY DAY IS GOING GREAT."
MAYBE SOME OF YOU ANSWERED WITH,
"MY DAY IS GOING AWESOME,"
BUT NO MATTER WHAT WORD YOU
CHOSE TO DESCRIBE YOUR DAY,
THE WORD THAT
YOU GAVE ME IS CALLED
AN ADJECTIVE.
ANOTHER WAY TO SAY
ADJECTIVE IS A DESCRIBING WORD.
IT'S A WORD THAT
DESCRIBES SOMETHING
AND GIVES ME MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT IT.
He shows a small white board with a diagram about adjectives.
He continues NOW, WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT ADJECTIVES,
WE REMIND OURSELVES THAT
AN ADJECTIVE CAN DESCRIBE
A PERSON,
A PLACE,
OR A THING.
OUR BIG IDEA TOGETHER IN
THE NEXT HOUR IS GOING TO BE
USING ADJECTIVES IN
OUR READING AND OUR WRITING
AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER LEARNING,
BUT BEFORE YOU HEAR ANYTHING
ELSE FROM ME ABOUT ADJECTIVES,
LET'S TOGETHER CHECK OUT THIS
CLIP FROM THE WACKY WORD SHOW,
THAT'S GONNA GIVE US
A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WE MEAN
WHEN WE SAY "ADJECTIVE."
A song plays IT'S THE WACKY,
WACKY WORD SONG
OH, YEAH
Zoey is in her early teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears dark trousers, a yellow shirt and a denim jacket.
In an attic, Zoey says HI, MY FRIED WROTE TO ME ABOUT
HER VACATION AT THE BEACH.
SHE DESCRIBED EVERYTHING
SO WELL, I FELT LIKE I WAS
THERE WITH HER. IT'S BECAUSE
SHE USED LOTS OF ADJECTIVES.
THOSE ARE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE
PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS
LIKE A SPECTACULAR SUNSET,
COLOURFUL SEASHELLS,
AND HAPPY PEOPLE ON VACATION.
I WROTE THIS BOUNCY,
BUBBLY SONG ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
She plays a song on a tablet.
An animated clip shows her wearing a letter A costume singing next to different objects.
Zoey sings I AM AN ADJECTIVE,
I ADD THE FLAVOUR
WHEN YOU DESCRIBE
PERSON, PLACE, OR THING
JUST LIKE THE SAUCE
THAT MAKES YOUR FOOD TASTY
I MAKE YOUR
SENTENCES MORE EXCITING
ADJECTIVES ARE AWESOME,
YEAH, THAT'S ME
I DESCRIBE THE WORLD
AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE
THIS TEDDY BEAR IS FUZZY,
THIS FROG IS SUPER BUMPY
MY NEIGHBOUR'S CAT
ALWAYS LOOKS SO GRUMPY
THIS MOUSE LOVES CHEESE,
SMELLY, STINKY CHEESE
MY DOG IS GASSY,
EXCUSE HER, PLEASE
SEE, ADJECTIVES CAN
PAINT A PICTURE WITH WORDS
THEY'RE AS AMAZING
AS MAGICAL WIZARDS
I AM AN ADJECTIVE,
I ADD THE FLAVOUR
WHEN YOU DESCRIBE
A PERSON, PLACE, OR THING
JUST LIKE THE SAUCE
THAT MAKES YOUR FOOD TASTY
I MAKE YOUR
SENTENCES MORE EXCITING.
The clip ends.
Zoey says ADJECTIVES ARE WORDS
THAT DESCRIBE THINGS.
SOME OF MY FAVOURITES ARE
CRUNCHY, WACKY, AND FRIENDLY.
WHAT ARE YOURS?
Logo: Apartment 11 Productions.
Joel says ALRIGHT. SO, NOW THAT WE'VE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT AN ADJECTIVE IS,
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW YOU
CAN WORK TO COME UP
WITH YOUR OWN ADJECTIVES.
NOW, WE USE OUR ADJECTIVES
A LOT WHEN WE'RE WRITING,
AND YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO
USE IT A LOT IN YOUR READING.
SO, THEY'RE IMPORTANT
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT.
I'VE GRABBED SOMETHING
FROM MY FRIDGE.
YOU SEE HERE I HAVE AN APPLE.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW I CAN
COME UP WITH
SOME AMAZING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE THIS VERY APPLE.
NOW, WE ARE GOING TO
USE ALL OF OUR SENSES
TO COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
SO, THE FIRST ONE THAT
I LIKE TO USE IS WHAT I SEE.
SO, I'M GOING TO LOOK AT
THIS APPLE AND THINK HOW WOULD
I DESCRIBE WHAT
THIS APPLE LOOKS LIKE?
I'M GOING TO
LOOK CLOSELY AND SAY,
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS APPLE IS RED."
THERE'S AN ADJECTIVE.
IT'S A WORD THAT
DESCRIBES THIS APPLE.
THE APPLE IS RED,
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO STOP THERE.
I CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT
WHAT THIS APPLE SOUNDS LIKE?
THIS APPLE IS HARD.
THERE'S ANOTHER ADJECTIVE
OR A DESCRIBING WORD.
I MIGHT THINK ABOUT
WHAT THE APPLE FEELS LIKE.
THIS APPLE IS SMOOTH.
I CAN EVEN USE MY SENSE OF SMELL
TO COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
He sniffs the apple and says THIS APPLE IS FRESH.
NOW, I MIGHT NOT USE MY SENSE
OF TASTE FOR EVERY
ITEM I'M DESCRIBING,
BUT IF I WANTED TO TAKE
A BITE OF THIS APPLE,
I BET I WOULD COME UP
WITH AN ADJECTIVE LIKE,
OH, THE APPLE IS DELICIOUS.
RED, HARD,
SMOOTH, FRESH,
AND DELICIOUS.
SO, THERE YOU GO.
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES I WAS
ABLE TO COME UP WITH TONS OF
ADJECTIVES FOR THIS APPLE.
NOW, I WANT YOU
TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
IF I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS APPLE,
AND I DON'T
USE THOSE ADJECTIVES,
MY WRITING WOULD PROBABLY SAY,
"TODAY, I ATE AN APPLE."
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S
THE MOST EXCITING
WRITING I CAN COME UP WITH.
SO, IF I DO WHAT I JUST DID,
COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES TO USE
IN MY WRITING,
MY WRITING IS GOING TO
BECOME SOMETHING MORE LIKE,
"TODAY, I ATE A JUICY
AND DELICIOUS APPLE.
I OPENED MY FRIDGE
AND NOTICED IT WAS SHINY AND RED
AND SMELLED FRESH."
NOW, IF YOU'RE READING THAT,
NOT ONLY DOES THAT SOUND
A LITTLE BIT MORE
INTERESTING AND EXCITING,
BUT I'VE USED THOSE ADJECTIVES
TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT
THE APPLE SO THAT YOU CAN
IMAGINE IT IN YOUR HEAD.
YOU CAN IMAGINE
WHAT IT TASTES LIKE.
OKAY, WE USED ADJECTIVES
TO MAKE OUR WRITING
THAT MUCH MORE DESCRIPTIVE.
NOW, YOU AT HOME ARE GOING TO
DO EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID WITH
THIS APPLE.
IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO SAFELY
MOVE IN THE SPACE AROUND YOU
AND FIND AN ITEM THAT
YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HAND
AND DO EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID.
DESCRIBE WITH ADJECTIVES.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA GET UP,
LOOK AROUND YOUR HOUSE,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND
AND BRING BACK TO YOUR SPOT,
BECAUSE YOU, JUST LIKE I DID,
ARE GOING TO COME
UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
ALRIGHT, GO FOR IT.
LET'S SEE WHAT
I CAN FIND NEAR ME.
I'VE ALREADY DONE AN APPLE,
BUT, OH,
I COULD DESCRIBE
MY SHOE WITH ADJECTIVES.
He shows a sneaker and continues I COULD DESCRIBE
THIS MARKER WITH ADJECTIVES.
LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE.
I COULD EVEN BRING BACK
A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.
REMEMBER, WE USE ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE A PERSON,
PLACE, OR THING.
SO, REALLY ANYTHING
YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR HOME,
GRAB IT NOW, CAREFULLY BRING IT
BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE SEATED,
AND WE'RE READY TO GO.
SO, JUST LIKE
I DID WITH THAT APPLE,
YOU MIGHT START WITH
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES
THAT DESCRIBE WHAT YOU SEE,
BUT REMEMBER, DON'T STOP THERE.
YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT WHAT
THIS OBJECT SOUNDS LIKE,
FEELS LIKE.
THERE'S ALL SORTS OF WAYS
WE CAN COME UP WITH
AWESOME ADJECTIVES.
SO, I ASKED YOU TO BRING
SOMETHING YOU CAN WRITE WITH
AND A PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, AT THIS POINT MAYBE YOU'LL
WRITE A LIST OF ADJECTIVES
FOR ALL OF THOSE ITEMS.
NOW, WE CAN ALSO USE ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE OURSELVES,
AND TODAY I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
ABOUT A VERY FUN PIECE OF
WRITING THAT WE'RE GOING TO
DO TOGETHER TO PRACTICE USING
ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE OURSELVES.
IT'S CALLED AN ACROSTIC POEM.
NOW, THE FIRST STEP FOR
THIS ACROSTIC POEM
IS TO TAKE ALL THE LETTERS
OF YOUR NAME
AND WRITE THEM DOWN
YOUR PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, FOR ME, MY NAME IS JOEL.
YOU CAN SEE HERE
I'VE WRITTEN J-O-E-L.
NOW, I'M NOT WRITING IT ACROSS
MY PAPER LIKE I NORMALLY WOULD,
I'M WRITING IT DOWN VERTICALLY.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO
BE A CREATIVE THINKER,
AND COME UP WITH AN ADJECTIVE
THAT NOT ONLY STARTS
WITH EVERY LETTER OF YOUR NAME,
BUT DESCRIBES YOU.
SO, FOR ME,
MY FIRST LETTER IS J.
I'M GONNA THINK OF
AN ADJECTIVES THAT STARTS WITH J
AND DESCRIBES ME.
SO, FOR ME,
I'M GOING TO PUT THE WORD
"JOYFUL."
JOYFUL MEANS REALLY HAPPY.
He takes a marker and writes down the adjective on a white board.
He continues I'M A PRETTY HAPPY GUY.
SO, BESIDE MY LETTER J,
I WRITE THE WORD JOYFUL.
I MOVE ON TO MY O.
AN ADJECTIVE THAT STARTS WITH O
AND DESCRIBES ME.
FOR O I'M GOING TO PUT...
OUTGOING. I LIKE TO TALK,
MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
I MOVE ONTO E.
THAT'S AN EASY ONE.
FOR E...
I'M EXCITED.
I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY,
TEACHING AND LEARNING
WITH YOU AT HOME.
AND MY LAST LETTER IS L.
LET'S SEE.
FOR L I'M GOING TO SAY I AM...
LOVING.
SO, THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN
COMING UP WITH AN ACROSTIC
POEM FOR YOUR NAME
USING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE YOU.
NOW, YOU HEARD ME SAY
THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP.
SO, ON THE PAPER THAT
YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU,
MAYBE YOU'RE GONNA START JOTTING
DOWN ADJECTIVES FOR YOUR NAME
AS YOU THINK OF THEM,
BUT THIS CAN BECOME A REALLY
FUN PROJECT TO WORK ON AT HOME.
ONCE YOU'VE COME UP
WITH THOSE ADJECTIVES,
I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO MAKE A GOOD COPY,
AND WHEN WE MAKE A GOOD COPY,
WE'RE NOT JUST
WRITING THOSE ADJECTIVES,
BUT WE ARE ADDING COLOUR,
YOU KNOW?
AND BECAUSE IT'S
A POEM ABOUT YOU,
MAYBE YOU WILL USE
YOUR FAVOURITE COLOURS.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE
SOME MORE EXCITING LETTERING
LIKE BUBBLE LETTERS
OR BLOCK LETTERS.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO DRAW SOME
PICTURES AND DECORATE IT,
BECAUSE THE FUN THING ABOUT
THIS ACROSTIC NAME POEM IS
NOT ONLY DOES IT
WORK ON OUR WRITING,
IT CAN BECOME A BEAUTIFUL
PIECE OF ART, RIGHT?
IT'S ABOUT YOU, SO MAYBE
YOU'LL WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE
A BEAUTIFUL GOOD COPY,
AND YOU COULD HANG THIS
NAME POEM UP IN YOUR BEDROOM,
ON YOUR BEDROOM DOOR.
NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING
YOU CAN WORK ON TODAY AT HOME,
BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS.
COMING UP WITH AN ADJECTIVE
FOR EVERY LETTER OF YOUR NAME
MIGHT BE A CHALLENGE.
IT MIGHT BE TRICKY,
AND THAT'S OKAY.
DON'T GIVE UP.
THAT'S HOW WE LEARN.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A FEW
STRATEGIES YOU CAN USE AT HOME
IF YOU'RE HAVING A HARD TIME
COMING UP WITH ADJECTIVES
FOR CERTAIN LETTERS
OF YOUR NAME.
WHEN I WAS MAKING
MY ACROSTIC POEM,
I HAD A HARD TIME
THINKING OF ADJECTIVES WITH
THE LETTER J.
SO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET
"ADJECTIVES THAT START WITH
THE LETTER J AND GUESS WHAT?
I CAME ACROSS AN ENTIRE LIST OF
WORDS I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF,
AND IT'S FUN TO LEARN NEW
WORDS TO ADD TO OUR VOCABULARY.
NOW, THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
YOU CAN FIND SOME ADJECTIVES
IF YOU FEEL STUCK,
AND FOR THIS ONE,
I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE
YOU TO PICK ANY BOOK
OFF YOUR BOOKSHELF AT HOME,
BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU NO
MATTER WHAT BOOK YOU CHOSE,
THERE ARE GOING TO BE
A WHOLE LOT OF ADJECTIVES
IN THAT BOOK.
I TOLD YOU EARLIER HOW
WHEN WE'RE WRITERS WE USE
THOSE ADJECTIVES TO GIVE
THE READER A CLEAR PICTURE
OF WHAT THEY'RE READING ABOUT.
SO, NO MATTER WHAT BOOK
YOU CHOSE, I PROMISE YOU,
IF YOU START TO LOOK THROUGH IT,
YOU ARE GOING TO FIND
A WHOLE BUNCH OF ADJECTIVES.
SO, IF YOU'RE STUCK, START
FLIPPING THROUGH A BOOK
TO SEE WHAT
ADJECTIVES YOU CAN THINK OF.
YOU MIGHT EVEN START
WRITING A LIST OF ALL
THE ADJECTIVES YOU CAN FIND.
THAT WAY, WHEN
YOU'RE DOING WRITING,
YOU CAN TAKE OUT
YOUR ADJECTIVES LIST
AND YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE LIST
OF WORDS THAT YOU CAN USE
TO DESCRIBE A PERSON,
A PLACE, OR A THING.
HEY, IF YOU REALLY
LIKE DOING THIS,
YOU COULD EVEN MAKE YOUR
OWN ADJECTIVES DICTIONARY.
MAYBE ON ONE PAGE YOU'LL PUT ALL
THE ADJECTIVES YOU CAN THINK OF
THAT START WITH THE LETTER A
AND ON THE NEXT PAGE
YOU'LL DO ALL THE ADJECTIVES
YOU CAN THINK OF THAT START WITH
THE LETTER B,
AND AGAIN, WHEN YOU GO
AND YOU START TO WRITE A STORY,
OR MAYBE A REPORT FOR SCHOOL,
YOU CAN PULL OUT
ALL THESE ADJECTIVES
AND USE THEM TO MAKE YOUR
WRITING THAT MUCH MORE EXCITING.
ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
I'VE BEEN TALKING
FOR A WHILE NOW,
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT EVERY SO OFTEN,
WHEN I'M LEARNING,
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
GET UP AND MOVE MY BODY.
SO, EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE,
YOU CAN STAND UP,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE A QUICK
MOVEMENT AND HEALTH BREAK,
AND I'LL BE BACK AFTER FOR
EVEN MORE LEARNING AND FUN.
SEE YOU IN A SECOND.
An animated slate shows colourful objects such as balls, ice skates, a watering can and ballet shoes.
In off, Greg says I'VE GOT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU
TO DO EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.
IT'S TIME FOR
GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
(music plays)
Greg stands in a living room. He is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a red TVO Kids shirt.
Greg says HEY, TVOKIDS.
IT'S GREG AND WELCOME TO
GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
TODAY I AM CHALLENGING YOU,
YES, YOU,
TO GET UP OFF YOUR COUCH
AND DO 10 PUSH-UPS WITH ME.
ARE YOU READY? WAIT, HOLD ON.
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN
HOW TO DO A PUSH-UP FIRST.
START WITH YOUR
PALMS ON THE GROUND,
SLIGHTLY WIDER THAN
SHOULDER WIDTH APART,
JUST UNDER YOUR ARM PITS.
FROM HERE,
INHALE AS YOU LOWER DOWN
'TIL YOUR CHEST
TOUCHES THE GROUND.
EXHALE AS YOU PUSH UP.
COMMON MISTAKES.
NOT LOWERING ALL THE WAY DOWN
AND NOT KEEPING
YOUR BODY STRAIGHT.
HERE'S A LITTLE TIP.
IF YOU FIND PUSH-UPS
TOO DIFFICULT,
YOU CAN DO THEM FROM YOUR KNEES.
ALRIGHT, TVOKIDS, YOU'VE JUST
LEARNED HOW TO DO A PUSH-UP.
SO, LET'S DO IT.
GET OFF YOUR COUCH.
TEN PUSH-UPS WITH ME.

FIVE. HALFWAY THERE.
SIX. NICE.
SEVEN. ALMOST THERE.
EIGHT. NICE.
GO ALL THE WAY DOWN.
NINE. LAST ONE.
AND TEN.
GOOD JOB, TVOKIDS.
THIS WAS GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
I'LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME,
BUT UNTIL THEN, EAT YOUR
VEGETABLES AND STAY ACTIVE.
Joel says WELCOME BACK, STUDENTS.
THAT WAS AN AWESOME
MOVEMENT BREAK.
I THINK WE'RE READY TO
MOVE ON WITH SOME MORE LEARNING.
NOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING
A LOT TODAY ABOUT ADJECTIVES
BUT SPECIFICALLY HOW
WE USE THEM IN OUR READING
AND OUR WRITING,
BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT
READERS AND WRITERS
ARE NOT THE ONLY LEARNERS
WHO USE ADJECTIVES?
IN FACT,
SCIENTISTS USE ADJECTIVES
EVERY SINGLE DAY
IN THEIR SCIENCE WORK,
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I LOVE SCIENCE.
SO, TODAY, YOU AND I ARE
GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO BE
ANIMAL SCIENTISTS, AND JUST
LIKE THOSE SCIENTISTS DO,
WE ARE GONNA MAKE
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT AN ANIMAL
AND WE'RE GONNA
PRACTICE USING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE THAT ANIMAL.
NOW, TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE
LEARNING ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL
TYPE OF ANIMAL.
IT'S CALL THE SNOWY OWL,
AND IN THIS EPISODE
OF WILD KRATTS,
YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN ALL SORTS
OF THINGS ABOUT SNOWY OWLS,
AND YOU'RE EVEN GONNA
GET TO SEE ONE IN ACTION.
SO, HERE'S WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
BEFORE WE START THAT EPISODE.
ON YOUR PIECE OF PAPER,
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE
A SCIENTIST LIST,
AND YOU'RE GONNA
GIVE THAT LIST A TITLE.
SO, I WANT YOU TO WRITE
"SNOWY OWL ADJECTIVES."
AT THE TOP, OKAY?
YOU CAN WORK ON DOING THAT NOW,
AND HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO
DO WITH THAT LIST.
AS WE'RE WATCHING
THIS EPISODE TOGETHER.
I WANT YOU TO REALLY
STUDY THOSE SNOWY OWLS,
AND ANY TIME YOU THINK OF
AN ADJECTIVE THAT DESCRIBES
THAT ANIMAL, YOU'RE GONNA
WRITE IT TO YOUR LIST.
SO, EVERY TIME YOU ADD
AN ADJECTIVE THAT LIST IS GOING
TO GROW AND GROW AND GROW.
REMEMBER,
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADJECTIVES,
WORDS THAT DESCRIBE
THE SNOWY OWL,
AND I KNOW THERE'S GOING
TO BE A LOT OF EXAMPLES OF THAT
IN THIS EPISODE.
SO, YOU'RE LIST SHOULD BE
READY TO GO. SET UP AT THE TOP,
SNOWY OWL ADJECTIVES.
WE'RE GONNA ENJOY THIS EPISODE
OF WILD KRATTS TOGETHER,
AND WHEN WE
COME BACK AT THE END,
I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE A LIST OF AMAZING
ADJECTIVES ABOUT A SNOWY OWL.
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says WILD KRATTS!
The Kratts Brothers walk in the snow. Chris wears a green jacket and Martin wears a blue jacket.
Martin says HEY, WE'RE HERE IN
NORTH AMERICA. WAY UP NORTH.
NOT QUITE THE ARCTIC,
BUT GETTING CLOSE.
IN A HABITAT KNOWN AS
THE NORTHERN WOODLANDS.
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS.
I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS. WHEN YOU'RE
HIKING AROUND THROUGH THE SNOW
THIS TIME OF YEAR,
THERE ARE LOTS OF SNOW PILES,
SNOW HILLS, AND SNOW BUMPS.
Martin says BUT MAKE SURE YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
BECAUSE SOME OF THAT SNOW MIGHT
BE MORE THAN JUST SNOW.
LOOK FOR THE YELLOW EYES.
Chris says THERE!
The Brothers say A SNOWY OWL!
Chris says A SNOWY OWL IS
AN ARCTIC CREATURE FROM
A LAND WHERE THERE ARE NO TREES.
SO, WHY WOULD YOU FIND
A SNOWY OWL THIS FAR SOUTH?
Martin says ABOUT EVERY FOUR YEARS,
THERE'S A VERY SPECIAL
WILDLIFE EVENT WHEN MANY
SNOWY OWLS START FLYING
SOUTH IN WHAT'S
CALLED AN ERUPTION.
Chris says THEY'LL FLY DOWN TO OTTAWA,
BOSTON, WASHINGTON DC,
EVEN ALL THE WAY
DOWN SOUTH TO FLORIDA.
Martin says JUST LIKE OUR GRANDPA.
SO, IF YOU EVER GET LUCKY
ENOUGH TO SEE A SNOWY OWL
LIVE AND IN PERSON,
CHECK OUT THEIR CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says AMAZING YELLOW EYES THAT
CAN SEE FOR A KILOMETRE.
Martin says AND A HEAD THAT
CAN SWIVEL 280 DEGREES.
Chris says STRONG TALONS.
Martin says TOES COVERED WITH WARM,
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS.
Chris says AND WHAT A POWERFUL FLYER!
Martin says WITH SPECIAL WING FEATHERS
THAT SILENCE THE FLAPS.
Chris says THAT ALL MAKES THE SNOWY OWL
A DANGEROUS PREDATOR.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
FLY THROUGH THE WINTER
WITH SNOWY OWL POWERS.
The Brothers say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says ON ADVENTURE WITH THE COOLEST CREATURES, FROM THE OCEANS TO THE TREES, THE BROTHERS KRATT ARE GOING PLACES YOU NEVER GET TO SEE, HANGING WITH THEIR CREATURE FRIENDS. GET READY, IT'S THE HOUR, WE'RE GONNA SAVE SOME ANIMALS TODAY WITH CREATURE POWER! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues CHEETAH SPEED AND LIZARD GLIDE, FALCON FLIGHT AND LION PRIDE, GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS. GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS!
The name of the episode appears. It reads "Snowy Owl Invasion."
Turned into pandas, the brothers play around in a forest. The rest of the team watches them.
Aviva says CAN YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVE?
Koki says I FORGOT AN HOUR AGO.
Martin says I CAN SWIM UNDERWATER
FASTER THAN YOU.
WHOA!
(grunting)
HM.
Chris says WELL, I CAN CLIMB
BAMBOO FASTER THAN YOU.
Martin says UH-OH.
Martin gets kicked away by a branch.
Martin says WHOA! PANDA'S DON'T FLY!
Chris says THAT WAS EASY.
Talking to a baby panda, he says HEY, BUD. WANT TO PLAY?
UH-OH.
Martin lands over Chris.
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy laugh.
Martin says HEY, STUFFO.
Jimmy says DO THAT AGAIN, BROS.
(alarm ringing)
Koki says THE WILD KRATTS ALARM!
She checks her tablet and says THERE'S A DISTURBANCE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
Aviva says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Koki says NOT SURE.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE TORTUGA.
Jimmy says SEE YOU!
Martin says WHOA!
Chris says BYE, STUFFO.
Martin says SEE YOU LATER.
Martin and Chris het stick in the Tortuga door.
Koki looks at the wall screen showing a world map.
She says WILD KRATTS TEAM HERE.
IT'S KATIE.
Katie says THERE'S A SNOWY OWL
SITTING ON MY SWING SET.
Koki says THAT FAR SOUTH?
Another girl pops up in the map and says HI, KOKI. I THOUGHT IT
WAS A WHITE PELICAN,
BUT THEN IT TURNED ITS HEAD.
Aviva says A SNOWY OWL?
ALL THE WAY DOWN IN FLORIDA?
Koki says THERE ARE SNOWY OWLS BEING
SPOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE.
HM.
Red circles flash in the whole map.
Chris says MARTIN, WE GOT TO GET IN THERE.
Martin says I KNOW. HEY, LET'S DEACTIVATE.
YES! OF COURSE.
(both grunting)
They deactivate going back to their human shape.
Martin says I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
SNOWY OWLS ARE AN ARCTIC SPECIES
OF THE TREELESS TUNDRA.
THEY BELONG HERE, WAY UP NORTH.
Chris says BUT SUDDENLY,
THEY'RE SHOWING UP SO FAR SOUTH
IN PLACES THEY DON'T
NORMALLY LIVE. WHY?
Martin says IT'S A SNOWY OWL INVASION.
Chris says AND A CREATURE MYSTERY.
WE HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
Aviva says BUT WE'RE SO FAR AWAY.
WAY OVER HERE IN CHINA.
Martin says I'VE GOT IT. WE'LL FLY
STRAIGHT OVER THE NORTH POLE.
THAT'S THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE,
AND WE'LL PASS OVER THE ARCTIC.
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris says OH, YEAH, AND AS WE PASS BY,
WE CAN DROP IN AND LOOK FOR
SOME CLUES AS TO WHY
SO MANY SNOWY OWLS
HAVE LEFT THE ARCTIC.
They all say TO THE ARCTIC!
Meanwhile, Donita, a fashion designer, looks through a window drinking a cup of coffee as snows falls.
Donita says DABIO, MY EARS ARE COLD.
Dabio is her blond henchman.
Dabio says LOOK, DONITA.
THAT'S A BIG SNOWFLAKE.
Donita says HUH?
She gasps and says OH, MY.
(slurping)
(chuckling)
The Tortuga lands in the Arctic.
(sniffing)
Martin says AH, THE TUNDRA.
FLAT, TREELESS, SNOWY, AND COLD.
Chris says THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
ALRIGHT, TIME TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE
AND WHY THE SNOWY OWLS
MIGHT BE LEAVING.
Chris stands in a white mound.
Martin says UH, CHRIS?
The mound is actually a polar bear.
Chris says OH, OKAY. FOUND A POLAR BEAR.
HM, WHAT IS THIS?
(exhaling)
(laughing)
OH, A WALRUS.
WA-HOO! OH, YEAH.
WHOA!
Koki says LOOK OUT!
Aviva says HEY, A SNOWSHOE HARE.
Jimmy says WELL, YOU FOUND SOME
WILDLIFE REAL QUICK,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH, WHERE ARE THE SNOWY OWLS?
Koki says IT MIGHT TAKE
A WHILE TO FIND THEM.
Chris says HM, ALRIGHT.
WHY DON'T KOKI AND I SET
UP A MOBILE RESEARCH CAMP?
WE'LL STAY AND SEARCH
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS
AND MORE CLUES IN
THEIR NATIVE HABITAT.
Martin says AND WE'LL HEAD SOUTH IN
THE TORTUGA TO TRACK THOSE
INVADING SNOWY OWLS.
(shivering)
Chris says WE'LL EACH COLLECT CLUES
AND ADD THEM TOGETHER.
Martin says THAT'S HOW WE'LL
FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERY OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
LET'S GO.
Aviva says SEE YOU, KOKI!
Martin says BYE, CHRIS.
Koki and Chris say BYE!
Dabio says DONITA, WHERE DID THESE
FLUFFY WHITE BIRDIES COME FROM?
Donita says NOT INTERESTED AND DON'T
ASK ME WHY THEY'RE HERE.
ALL I KNOW IS THEY ARE
PRECISELY WHAT I WANT.
NOTE THE FLUFFINESS AND APPARENT
WARMTH OF THE WHITE FEATHERS.
THESE OWLS WILL MAKE
THE WARMEST AND MOST WONDERFUL
WHITE WINTER HATS. POSE BEAM.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
He shoots a pose beam to an owl.
Donita says LIFT ME, DABIO. WHOA!
AH, THIS IS IT.
OH, IT'S BEEN SUCH
A QUIET WINTER SEASON.
THE FASHION WORLD HAS
BEEN DESPERATELY WAITING
FOR THESE WINTER HATS.
DONITA DONATA
ONCE AGAIN DELIVERS.
She wears the owl as a hat.
She says OOH, IT'S SO WARM.
(Tortuga approaching)
Gavin says THEY'RE HERE. WILD KRATTS!
Martin says HEY, EVERYBODY!
Aviva says WE MADE IT.
Martin says WOW! NOW THAT'S AN AWESOME OWL.
Aviva says QUE BONITA.
Katie says WE WERE JUST MAKING A SNOWMAN
AND THEN THE OWL LANDED.
Martin says HEY, I THINK
I'M GETTING SOMETHING HERE.
A GREAT NAME FOR A SNOWY OWL.
I'M GONNA CALL YOU...
Gavin says WE ALREADY GAVE HIM A NAME.
Ronan says YEAH, MARTIN.
WE NAMED HIM LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.
Katie says YEAH, HE HAS A NAME,
Martin chuckles and says WELL, WHAT IS IT THEN?
The kids say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL.
Martin says FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL?
HM, I LOVE IT!
He sings FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL
LEFT THE ARCTIC
TUNDRA ONE DAY
HE FLEW DOWN HERE
AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHY HE CAME OR WILL HE STAY?
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
LOOK AT FROSTY FLY
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
SNOWFLAKE IN THE SKY
The kids say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL.
Martin says THANK YOU!
Aviva says VERY ENTERTAINING, MARTINO,
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY
FROSTY HAS COME
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
Jimmy says YEAH.
Martin says I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND
THE OWL IS TO BE THE OWL.
UH, SNOW OWL POWER DISC.
Aviva says UH, WE'VE NEVER MADE
A SNOWY OWL POWER DISC.
Martin says WHAT? BUT SNOWY OWLS ARE
ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING
OWLS IN THE WORLD.
Gavin says YOU DO HAVE
AN ELF OWL POWER DISC.
Katie says AND A BURROWING OWL DISC.
Martin says HM, OWLS DO HAVE SOME
BASIC FEATURES IN COMMON.
Projecting an owl on a holo screen, he continues ONE, THEY CAN ROTATE
THEIR HEADS 270 DEGREES.
TWO, THEY HAVE BETTER HEARING
THAN HAWKS AND EAGLES.
AND THREE,
THEY HAVE ROUND LOOKING HEADS.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES AN OWL AN OWL.
Aviva says YES, THOSE ARE
SIMILARITIES I CAN BUILD ON.
WE CAN START WITH THE BASIC OWL,
AND FROM THERE I'LL PROGRAM
THE SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE SNOWY OWL
STARTING WITH THE SUPER WARM,
FLUFFY, WHITE FEATHERS.
Martin says AND HERE'S A WOW FACT.
SNOWIES HAVE
THE WARMEST FEATHERS
OF ANY OWL IN THE WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT.
THE FEET OF THE SNOWY OWL
IS COVERED IN FEATHERS.
MOST OWLS HAVE BARE FEET,
YOU KNOW.
Aviva says WELL, THEN. I BETTER ADD
FEATHER-COVERED FEET
TO MAKE IT A SNOWY OWL
POWER SUIT.
TIME TO GET INVENTING.
Next, Chris says LOOK! A SNOWY OWL.
IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND ONE.
Koki says THIS IS THE FIRST OWL
WE'VE SEEN ANYWHERE.
Chris says I DON'T GET IT. THIS IS WHERE
SNOWY OWLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
THIS IS THEIR HABITAT.
THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR
THE COLDEST WEATHER
ALL YEAR LONG IN THE ARCTIC.
BUT THERE AREN'T MANY AROUND.
Martin appears on Chris's forearm screen.
Martin says WELL, THERE ARE
A LOT DOWN HERE.
HEY, AVIVA.
Aviva says HM?
Martin says ANOTHER ONE LANDED
JUST BEHIND YOU.
Aviva says WHAT?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. WHOA.
(laughing)
OWLS ALWAYS SURPRISE ME.
Martin says EXACTLY.
OWLS ARE SURPRISE ARTISTS.
OWLS HAVE SOFT FEATHERS IN
THEIR WINGS THAT MUFFLE SOUND.
HEAR THAT?
Frosty flies away.
Katie says NO.
Martin says EXACTLY.
Garvin says WHERE'S FROSTY GOING?
Aviva says AND THIS OWL'S EYES.
THEY'RE LIKE GOLD. BEAUTIFUL!
Martin says WOW, EYES LIKE GOLD.
I'VE GOT IT.
I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
Ronan says GOLD NUGGET!
Martin chuckles and says HEY!
Aviva says THIS IS ALL GREAT STUFF
FOR AN OWL POWER SUIT.
(typing)
Gavin says FROSTY IS CHASING GOLD NUGGET!
WHOA!
Martin says INTERESTING.
Donita says OH, YES, IT'S PERFECT, BUT I'LL
NEED TO COLLECT MORE MATERIAL.
DABIO, THIS IS
AN IDEAL ASSIGNMENT FOR
MY NEW
MANNEQUIN COLLECTOR UNITS.
Dabio says OH, GOODY, GOODY, GOODY, GOODY.
Talking to three mannequin robots, Donita says STRIKE A POSE.
THIS! THIS IS THE MATERIAL
YOU WILL BE COLLECTING.
POWER UP POSE BEAMS.
DEPLOY FOR COLLECTION!
Using binoculars, Chris says HEY, THIS OWL SEES SOMETHING.
Koki says LET ME SEE.
Chris says SNOWY OWLS HAVE
AMAZING POWERS OF SIGHT.
A SNOWY OWL CAN SEE
MOVEMENT FROM A KILOMETRE AWAY.
INCOMING! ANOTHER SNOWY OWL!
WHOA, THE OLD OWL DOESN'T
LIKE THE NEW OWL BEING HERE.
Koki says LOOK, HE'S CHASING HIM AWAY.
Chris says HE DROVE HIM OFF.
THEY'RE VERY TERRITORIAL.
Koki says CHRIS, THAT MAY BE
ANOTHER CLUE TO OUR MYSTERY.
Chris says IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY
SNOWY OWLS ARE DOWN SOUTH.
Aviva says AND THERE'S SOON TO BE ONE MORE.
READY TO BECOME PART OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION, MARTIN?
She tosses Martin a disc.
Martin says UH, YEAH!
ACTIVATE SNOWY OWL POWERS.
He morphs into a big owl.
He says WOW!
THIS SUIT IS COMFY.
Aviva says OOH, SOFT.
Gavin says AND WARM!
They all hug Martin.
Katie says LIKE A FUZZY,
FEATHERY COMFORTER.
Martin laughs and says COME ON, GUYS. LOOK AT HIS FACE.
THIS IS ONE SERIOUS CREATURE.
NO MORE HUGS.
AND HE IS HUNTING FOR SURVIVAL!
Martin chases the owl and says HM, SO WHAT'S HE LOOKING FOR?
A-HA! A SNOWSHOE HARE.
WHOO! HE GOT AWAY THIS TIME.
Jimmy and the rest of the team watch everything on a projected holo screen.
Jimmy says YEAH, BUT LOOK AT WHAT
ELSE SNOWY OWLS ARE CATCHING.
CANADA GEESE
AND SMALL ALLIGATORS.
Martin says IT'S AMAZING. THE SNOWY OWL
IS SUCH A STRONG PREDATOR.
SHE CAN CATCH BIG PREY
OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES,
BUT ODDLY, SHE MOSTLY LIKES
TO HUNT SMALLER RODENTS.
A SNOWY OWL CAN CATCH 1,600
SMALL RODENTS A YEAR.
HEY, THAT'S WHAT WE DIDN'T SEE
IN THE ARCTIC. SMALL RODENTS!
(phone ringing)
Martin says CHRIS, HAVE YOU SEEN
ANY SMALL RODENTS UP THERE?
Chris says NO! YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T.
Koki says I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EITHER,
AND IN THIS WHITENESS,
A LITTLE BROWN RODENT LIKE
A LEMMING SHOULD STAND OUT,
AND THERE SHOULD BE
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF THEM
IN THIS AREA AROUND US.
Chris says HM, A-HA!
OF COURSE. THE LEMMINGS
MUST BE IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE.
WE'VE GOT TO CHECK,
AND THERE'S ONLY
ONE WAY TO DO THAT.
WITH THE MINIATURIZER.
They jump into a laser.
Chris and Koki say MINIATURIZE!
Chris says OKAY, NOW WE JUST
HAVE TO FIND A WAY INTO...
They fall into a hole in the snow.
They say WHOA!
(Both screaming and grunting)
Chris says WE'RE HERE. THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
Koki says DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Several lemmings run away.
Chris says WHOA, IT'S LIKE A NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR.
Koki says I THINK THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT CLUE.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LEMMINGS.
THE SNOWY OWL'S FAVOURITE MEAL.
Koki says BUT THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE SNOW.
SO, THE SNOWY OWLS
CAN'T GET TO THEM.
Chris says THAT MUST HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH
THE SNOWY OWLS FLYING SOUTH.
Katie says LOOK! FROSTY'S BACK.
Martin says AND SO AM I, AND I CAN TELL YOU,
SNOWY OWL POWERS ARE AMAZING.
A flying mannequin attacks Frosty.
Martin says HUH? FLYING MANNEQUINS?
Gavin says THEY'RE AFTER FROSTY.
Katie says AND GOLD NUGGET.
The mannequin grabs Gold Nugget.
Ronan says OH, NO! POOR GOLD NUGGET.
Martin says THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB
FOR SNOWY OWL POWERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAY.
They say TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin says OH, NO YOU DON'T!
DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ME COMING.
Martin kicks the mannequin away.
He says HEAD NORTH, FROSTY.
In her aircraft, Donita laughs and says THIS IS FABULOUS,
BUT I NEED MORE DABIO.
LET'S LAND IN SEARCH FOR MORE.
Dabio says OKIE DOKIE, DONITA.
Aviva says DONITA WITH A SNOWY OWL HAT?
MARTIN, DONITA'S CAPTURING
SNOWY OWLS TO MAKE WINTER HATS!
LOOK OUT! MORE OF
DONITA'S ATTACK MANNEQUINS.
Martin says HEY, DONITA. SNOWY OWLS
ARE ANIMALS, NOT MATERIALS.
Donita says OH, SO IT'S A FLYING MARTINO.
CATCH HIM AND PUT HIM IN THE JAR
WITH THE REST OF THE OWLS.
The mannequins shoot lasers at Martin.
Martin says MISSED ME!
Donita says GET HIM!
Aviva says COME ON, VAMONOS.
LET'S RESCUE THE SNOWY OWLS
AND GET THEM TO SAFETY.
Martin says WHOO, MISSED AGAIN.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio says WHERE'S THE DUCK? I LIKE
DUCKS MUCH BETTER THAN OWLS.
Martin tosses a defeated mannequin that pushes Dabio.
Dabio says OH.
Donita says DABIO? DABIO? WHERE'D YOU GO?
DUCK!
Dabio says ANOTHER DUCK?
Donita says CATCH HIM!
Martin says GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
A pose beam freezes Martin.
Donita laughs and says WE'LL USE HIM FOR
A PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY
FOR MY NEW SNOWY OWL HATS.
HE'LL BE A MANNEQUIN
IN THE STORES.
MARTIN THE MANNEQUIN.
STUFF HIM IN WITH THE OTHERS.
Later, Aviva says ALL SAFE. NOW WE NEED A PLAN
TO TURN OFF THE POSE BEAM.
Ronan says AVIVA, LOOK! THEY'RE GOT MARTIN!
(muffled shouting)
Aviva says NO POWER, NO POSE BEAM.
She turns off the mannequin.
Martin says THANKS, AVIVA.
Aviva says NO HAY PROBLEMA.
Martin says NOW, MAY I SEND THIS
MANNEQUIN BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE?
Aviva says WHY, OF COURSE.
Donita says OH, DABIO. TIME TO...
Martin says HEY, DONITA.
I REALLY LIKE DOING THIS.
Donita says NOT AGAIN! DUCK!¡
OH, WHY BOTHER?
Dabio says NO DUCK!
Donita says GREEN GRASS?
FLOWERS? SPRING IS HERE!
IT'S A NEW SEASON.
SNOWY OWL HATS ARE
NO LONGER IN STYLE.
YOU DID NOT DEFEAT ME.
I SIMPLY DON'T
WANT THEM ANYMORE.
LET'S GO, DABIO.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
Her aircraft takes off.
Aviva says WELL, DONITA'S
RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING.
IT'S WARMING UP.
SPRING IS COMING.
Martin says AND THE SNOWY OWLS ARE
HEADING NORTH TO THE ARCTIC.
LET'S GO!
Next, they all gather outside the Tortuga.
Chris says WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?
Aviva says THIS TIME MARTIN HAD A GOOD
REASON FOR GETTING DISTRACTED.
Martin says YEAH, WE HAD TO STOP DONITA FROM
TURNING ALL THE SNOWY OWLS INTO
SNOW HATS. LUCKILY I OBSERVED
HOW OWLS USE AERIAL COMBAT
AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THAT
SNOWY OWL POWER TO CHASE OFF
DONITA'S NEW ATTACK MANNEQUINS
JUST LIKE OWLS CHASE EACH OTHER.
He goes back to his human shape.
Chris says HMM. SO YOU SAW OWLS
DO THAT TOO?
THEY MUST BE DOING IT BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT MUCH FOOD
ON THE SURFACE, SO THEY HAVE TO
PROTECT THEIR TERRITORY.
Koki says YEAH! WE THINK THAT LEMMINGS ARE
REALLY HARD TO GET TO
IN THE WINTER, BECAUSE THEY'RE
UNDER THE SNOW.
Aviva says LOOK! THERE'S SO MANY LEMMINGS
OUT IN THE SPRING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOOD FOR
LOTS OF OWLS.
Chris says THE MALE SNOWY OWL CATCHES
LEMMINGS AND BRINGS THEM
TO THE FEMALE AT THE NEST.
THIS HAS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE
THE FEMALES SNOWY OWLS
ARE BUSY LAYING EGGS.
Martin says SO IN SUMMERS WHEN THERE ARE
LOTS OF LEMMINGS,
LOTS OF EGGS ARE LAID,
AND LOTS OF CHICKS HATCH!
MORE LEMMINGS EQUALS MORE
BABY SNOWY OWLS.
Chris says THERE ARE ENOUGH LEMMINGS TO
FEED EVERYONE!
BUT WHEN WINTER COMES,
AND THE LEMMINGS TAKE REFUGE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE,
THEY'RE NO LONGER EASY
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS TO CATCH!
Martin says AND THERE ARE SO MANY
SNOWY OWLS!
SO THE OLDER ONES DRIVE
THE YOUNGER ONES
OUT OF THEIR TERRITORIES.
THE YOUNGER ONES THEN FLY SOUTH
TO NEW PLACES FOR THE WINTER.
The Brothers say THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY
OF THE SNOWY OWL INVASION!
The kids say YEAH! YAY!
Martin says HERE YOU GO, GUYS,
FOR A JOB WELL DONE!
He hands them ice creams.
The kids say MMM! YUM!
Martin says AND BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY
I'M GONNA GET
TO NAME AN OWL TODAY...
(chuckling)
I'M GONNA NAME YOU... HMM.
SCOOP!
Ronan says SCOOP? LIKE A SCOOP OF
ICE CREAM?
Martin says YEAH! SCOOP!
Gavin says MARTIN'S FINALLY GOTTEN TO NAME
A SNOWY OWL.
Martin says YEAH!
Chris says AND WE GOT TO SEE LOTS
OF SNOWY OWLS
LIVING FREE AND IN THE ARCTIC.
Now the show turns back to real life.
Martin says WOW, THE SNOWY OWL! A SUPER
PREDATOR OF THE ARCTIC.
Chris says HE'S GOT ALL THE ADAPTATIONS TO
SURVIVE IN THE COLD AND SNOW.
IT STARTS WITH THOSE FEATHERS.
THE GUARD FEATHERS THAT KEEP OUT
THE SNOW AND THE COLD WIND.
WITH DOWNY WARM FEATHERS
UNDERNEATH.
AND OF COURSE THE FEATHERS
ARE WHITE.
THAT GIVES THEM PERFECT
CAMOUFLAGE
TO HIDE FROM PREDATORS, AND MOST
OF ALL, PREY.
Martin says AND CHECK OUT THOSE SPECIAL
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS
THAT COVER HIS TOES!
THAT KEEPS THE TOES WARM!
THE TOES SITTING IN THE SNOW ARE
PERFECTLY WARM
IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES!
Chris says YEAH! SNOWY OWLS LOVE THE SNOW!
THEY PLAY IN THE SNOW AND EVEN
TAKE SNOW BATHS!
Martin says WHEN THE SNOWY OWLS FLY DOWN
FROM THE ARCTIC,
WE ARE REALLY IN FOR
A SPECIAL TREAT.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
THE ROAD OR WALKING TO SCHOOL,
YOU MIGHT LOOK OVER
INTO A FIELD,
AND THERE'S A BIG LUMP OF WHITE
WITH TWO YELLOW EYES,
AND YOU'VE SPOTTED A SNOWY OWL!
SO YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE GROUND,
LOOK AT FENCE POSTS, THEY LIKE
TO PERCH THERE.
AND CHECK OUT THE TOPS OF
TELEPHONE POLES,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST GET LUCKY
ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL DOWN SOUTH.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SNOWY OWLS
ARE ONE OF THE MANY COOL OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES, THE
GREAT HORNED OWL.
A CLOSE RELATIVE OF
THE SNOWY OWL.
THEY'VE GOT THE EAR TUFTS, KIND
OF A FOREST PREDATOR.
THEY LIKE TO BE IN THE WOODS,
THESE GREAT HORNED OWLS.
AND THEY HUNT ALL SORTS
OF THINGS.
Chris says AND THEN THERE ARE
BURROWING OWLS!
THEY'RE AN OWL THAT SPENDS A LOT
OF TIME STANDING AROUND
ON THE GROUND IN THE DESERT.
AND THEY EVEN NEST UNDERGROUND,
IN PRAIRIE DOG BURROWS.
AND I LOVE THAT LITTLE OWL THAT
NESTS IN CACTUS.
THE ELF OWL! A LITTLE OWL
OF THE DESERT.
ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING OWLS IN
THE CREATURE WORLD.
Martin says WE'VE GOTTA DO MORE CREATURE
ADVENTURES WITH OWLS!
Chris says OH, YEAH! OWLS ARE AWESOME.
Martin says KEEP ON CREATURE
ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE
CREATURE TRAIL!

The episode ends.
Joel says AND WE'RE BACK!
THAT WAS A SUPER EPISODE,
AND I KNOW YOU CAME UP WITH TONS
OF ADJECTIVES ABOUT SNOWY OWLS.
NOW, USING ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE ANIMALS
NOT ONLY HELPS WITH OUR SCIENCE
LEARNING,
BUT I KNOW A REALLY FUN GAME YOU
CAN PLAY AT HOME
WITH YOUR FAMILY TO PRACTICE
USING THOSE ADJECTIVES.
AND HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
YOU ARE GOING TO THINK
OF AN ANIMAL.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO TELL
THAT ANIMAL TO THE PERSON
YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME
WITH, OKAY?
YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP
THAT IDEA IN YOUR HEAD.
THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GONNA DO
IS USE ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE
THAT ANIMAL
TO THE PERSON YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH.
AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE IF THOSE
ADJECTIVES
ARE ENOUGH FOR THE PERSON YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH
TO GUESS YOUR ANIMAL, OKAY?
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. I'M
THINKING OF AN ANIMAL RIGHT NOW.
NOW I'M NOT GONNA TELL IT TO
YOU, BUT I HAVE SOME ADJECTIVES
I'M GONNA USE TO DESCRIBE WHAT
THIS ANIMAL IS LIKE.
I WANT YOU TO TRY TO GUESS THE
ANIMAL, SO SHOUT IT OUT
IF YOU KNOW IT!
THE ANIMAL I'M THINKING OF
IS SCALY,
SLIMY, AND SLITHERY.
SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS JUST BASED
OFF THOSE ADJECTIVES.
SCALY, SLIMY,
AND SLITHERY.
ANYONE HAVE A GUESS?
I'M THINKING OF...
A SNAKE!
COULD YOU GUESS IT FROM MY THREE
ADJECTIVES?
ALL RIGHT, I'VE GOT ANOTHER. OH!
I'M THINKING OF AN ANIMAL
THAT IS SPOTTED,
AND TALL.
IN FACT, I'M THINKING OF AN
ANIMAL THAT IS SPOTTED
AND VERY TALL.
CAN YOU GUESS IT FROM THOSE
ADJECTIVES?
I WAS THINKING OF...
A GIRAFFE! YOU GOT IT!
SO THIS IS A FUN GAME YOU CAN DO
AT HOME TO PRACTICE
USING ADJECTIVES IN YOUR
EVERYDAY LIFE.
AND GUESS WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE
TO PLAY IT WITH ANIMALS.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY COULD PLAY
IT, HMM... DESCRIBING A FOOD,
DESCRIBING A PLACE,
MAYBE EVEN DESCRIBING
A PERSON YOU KNOW.
BUT REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TELL THEM WHAT IT IS,
YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO USE
THE POWER OF ADJECTIVES,
OF DESCRIBING WORDS,
TO GIVE THEM THOSE CLUES
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF.
HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE!
NOW TODAY WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
THE BIG IDEA OF ADJECTIVES.
AND AT THE START
OF OUR HOUR,
I WAS THINKING ABOUT ADJECTIVES
ABOUT AN APPLE.
AND JUST NOW, YOU WERE THINKING
OF ADJECTIVES ABOUT ANIMALS.
DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT
THOSE THREE WORDS?
LISTEN AGAIN. ADJECTIVES.
APPLES.
ANIMALS. WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?
I NOTICE THAT ALL THREE OF THOSE
WORDS START WITH
THE LETTER A! YOU GOT IT.
THAT'S AWESOME. THAT'S AMAZING.
HEY! THOSE ARE TWO MORE WORDS
THAT START WITH A!
RIGHT NOW TOGETHER
WE'RE GOING TO CHECK OUT
A FUN ALPHABET VIDEO
ALL ABOUT THE LETTER A!
I WONDER HOW MANY LETTER A WORDS
YOU CAN COME UP WITH!
A clip plays.
TVO Kids and Goddard Brown original.
[GIGGLES]
The name of the show reads "ABC Singsong, by Warren Brown and Adam Goddard."
An announcer says IT'S AN ABC SINGSONG
ABOUT THE LETTER A!
An animated man with curly green hair sings a song that says AH-AH-AH
A IS FOR APPLE
FRESH FROM A TREE
A IS FOR AIRPLANE
FLYING OVER ME
AH-AH-ALLIGATOR
LOTS OF THINGS START WITH A
AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST FOR YOU
YEAH!
A IS FOR AARDVARK
HAPPY TO BE HERE
(HAPPY TO BE HERE)
A IS FOR ANT,
AND SO IS ANTEATER
A IS FOR ASTRONAUT,
APRICOT
HEY, WHY NOT?
AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST
(LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST)
A IS FOR ANGEL FISH,
AQUARIUM TOO
A IS FOR APE,
CHILLIN' AT THE ZOO
A IS FOR ARM,
WAVING RIGHT AT YOU
COME ON, AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST
FOR YOU
A caption reads "Produced in association with TVO Kids. Marney Malabar, Executive producer, TVO."
The clip ends.
Joel says THAT ALPHABET VIDEO WAS
A LOT OF FUN!
AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU,
IT GOT ME THINKING
ABOUT HOW WE CAN USE
THE ALPHABET TO PRACTICE
AND LEARN EVEN MORE
ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
I'VE GOT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GO THROUGH
EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET
WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING
AT HOME TODAY.
AND FOR EACH LETTER, THINK OF
SOMETHING YOU COULD DESCRIBE,
A PERSON, PLACE, OR THING,
AND AN ADJECTIVE TO DESCRIBE IT
THAT START WITH THE SAME LETTER.
HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING. I
WOULD START AT THE START
OF THE ALPHABET. A, THAT'S THE
LETTER WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
I COULD DESCRIBE, AS YOU SAW
ME DO, MY APPLE.
APPLE STARTS WITH A, SO NOW I
NEED TO PAIR WITH AN ADJECTIVE
THAT ALSO STARTS WITH A.
I COULD SAY
"THIS IS MY AMAZING APPLE."
LETTER A WORDS.
FOR B, I WONDER IF I CAN THINK
OF SOMETHING TO DESCRIBE
AND AN ADJECTIVE THAT BOTH
START WITH B.
MAYBE I WOULD SAY
"MY BOUNCY BASKETBALL."
I'M GONNA MOVE ONTO C.
FOR C, I MIGHT DESCRIBE
MY "COOL CAT."
MAYBE FOR D, I WOULD THINK ABOUT
A "DAZZLING DIAMOND."
BUT I WANT YOU TO WORK, LEARNING
AT HOME TODAY,
TO COME UP WITH WORDS AND
ADJECTIVES
FOR EVERY SINGLE LETTER
OF THE ALPHABET.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GET ALL THE
WAY THROUGH!
NOW DON'T FORGET THOSE
STRATEGIES I TOLD YOU ABOUT
EARLIER IF YOU ARE STUCK.
IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEARCH FOR
ADJECTIVES
THAT YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR
VOCABULARY.
OR, LIKE I SAID, GRAB A BOOK!
FLIP THROUGH, YOU'RE GONNA COME
ACROSS TONS OF ADJECTIVES
AS YOU GO. I'M TELLING YOU,
ADJECTIVES ARE EVERYWHERE IN
BOOKS, SO IF YOU NEED IDEAS,
THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO LOOK.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH
THE ALPHABET
ADJECTIVE CHALLENGE.
HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE!
A clip plays.
(music plays)
A boy pops up wearing cowboy clothes. He has wavy black hair.
Dalmar says RANGER DALMAR.
Then, a girl pops out of a barrel wearing a cowboy hat. She has curly brown hair. She winks an eye.
Kara says RANGER KARA.
Now another boy pops out of a saloon wearing ranger clothes. He has short blond hair.
Drew says RANGER DREW.
A woman with glasses and a book appears.
Miss Bookworth says MISS BOOKWORTH!
Now a woman and two bandits sit inside a room.
Mayor McNab says THE MAYOR.
Pinky says PINKY.
Giggle says GIGGLES.
A man with long hair and a long beard scratches his head.
Wilson says WILSON.
Now a man dances crazily as he laughs.
A caption reads "And Cookie."
(hooting)
A sign in old Western style with a star on top, reads "The reading rangers."
The sign leaves a brand on a wooden wall.
The title of the episode reads "Adjectives."
Kara and Dalmar sit at a bar counter.
Kara says AHH. IT'S NICE TO BE BACK
IN DOCVILLE.
Dalmar says IT SURELY IS.
SO WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON? HOW'S
THE WEATHER BEEN?
Cookie says HO-HO! THE WEATHER'S BEEN,
UH, WEATHER.
THERE'S A SPECIAL TODAY.
Kara says REALLY? WHAT IS IT?
Cookie says BEANS!
(chuckling)
Kara says OOH! HOW ARE THEY DONE?
WELL, LIKE, UH, BEANS.
Kara says BUT WHAT KIND OF BEANS?
Cookie says OH-HO-HO! THE BEAN KIND.
Dalmar says REALLY? WHAT COLOUR?
Cookie says UH, BEAN COLOUR.
Kara says THERE'S NOTHING ELSE YOU
CAN TELL US?
Cookie says OH, THERE CERTAINLY IS. IT JUST
SEEMS THAT, UH,
SAYING IT'S A LITTLE, UH...
Kara says DIFFICULT?
Cookie says YEAH! HAH-HAH! THAT'S IT.
Dalmar says WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS
ALL ABOUT?
Kara says HM...
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM, COULD YOU
DESCRIBE MY HAT FOR ME?
A woman reading a book says SURE, IT'S, A HAT.
Dalmar says HOW BIG IS IT?
WHAT COLOUR IS IT?
The woman shrugs.
Dalmar says WELL THAT'S JUST WEIRD.
IT'S LIKE EVERYONE IN TOWN CAN'T
DESCRIBE ANYTHING.
Kara says WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT WORDS ARE
USED TO DESCRIBE
PEOPLE, PLACES, OR THINGS?
Dalmar says ADJECTIVES?
WHAT, ARE YOU SAYING EVERYONE IN
TOWN SOMEHOW
LOST THEIR ADJECTIVES?
Kara says NOT LOST. STOLEN!
Dalmar says WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?
Kara says I'VE GOT A HUNCH.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE,
RANGER DALMAR.
Cookie says WELL, HEY! WHAT ABOUT
YOUR BEANS?!
(knocking at door)
Kara and Dalmar walk into a living room.
The Mayor says YES?
OH, WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE SMART,
LAW-ABIDING,
UPSTANDING, HAPPY, CHEERFUL,
NOSEY,
CURIOUS, INTERFERING,
TROUBLESOME,
MEDDLESOME RANGERS!
Kara says WELL, MISS MAYOR, WE JUST
DROPPED BY
'CAUSE WE GOT BACK INTO TOWN AND
NOTICED PEOPLE TALKING ODDLY.
The Mayor says OH.
Dalmar says WE WERE WONDERING IF YOU
NOTICED THAT TOO.
The Mayor says NO, I HAVEN'T NOTICED
ANYTHING ODD.
STRANGE, PECULIAR, ATYPICAL,
FUNNY, FISHY, FREAKY, OR UNUSUAL
AROUND HERE.
Kara says OKAY, THEN. COULD YOU DESCRIBE
MY HAT FOR ME PLEASE?
The Mayor says WHY CERTAINLY. IT'S WHITE.
WIDE-BRIMMED, BANDED, BRANDED.
WELL-FITTED, WELL-SUITED,
WELL-CRAFTED, HANDSOME-- OKAY!
I DID IT! I STOLE ALL THE
ADJECTIVES.
She grabs a big bag that reads "Adjectives."
She continues I WANTED THEM ALL TO MYSELF!
AND I WOULD HAVE GOT AWAY
WITH IT TOO
BUT I CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE!
IT'S BEEN BAD, TERRIBLE,
GHASTLY, HORRIBLE,
CHALLENGING-- OH, JUST
TAKE THEM!
She tosses the bag to Dalmar.
Kara says WELL, NOW YOU KNOW, MISS MAYOR.
USING ADJECTIVES CAN BE A GOOD
THING TO DESCRIBE STUFF,
BUT SOMETIMES TOO MUCH
DESCRIPTION CAN BE BAD.
NOW LET'S GO.
Dalmar says EXCELLENT! PREMIUM. FIRST RATE.
MERITORIOUS. QUALITY. SUPREME.
ULTIMATE. GREAT. FANTASTIC...
Kara takes the bag away from him.
Dalmar continues IDEA! THANKS.
ADJECTIVES ARE STRONG STUFF!
The TVO Kids logo appears on the wooden wall.
The clip ends.
Joel says ALL RIGHT, STUDENTS! TODAY WE
TALKED ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
AND WE LEARNED A FEW WAYS WE
CAN USE THEM.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO KEEP LEARNING
ABOUT ADJECTIVES AT HOME,
DON'T FORGET I GAVE YOU A FEW
IDEAS OF LESSONS
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT AS THE DAY
AND AS THE WEEK GOES ON.
THE FIRST WAS COMING UP WITH AN
ACROSTIC POEM.
USING THE LETTERS IN YOUR NAME
TO THINK OF ADJECTIVES
FOR EVERY SINGLE LETTER.
NOW IF YOU HAD FUN WITH THIS,
DON'T FORGET, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
GOOD COPY AS A PIECE OF ART
YOU CAN HANG UP ON YOUR WALL.
AND DON'T STOP THERE! YOU COULD
EVEN MAKE AN ACROSTIC POEM
FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.
MAYBE YOU'LL WRITE EACH ONE IN
THEIR FAVOURITE COLOUR.
I WONDER HOW MANY ADJECTIVES YOU
CAN COME UP WITH.
ANOTHER THING WE DID TODAY WAS
WE PRACTICED SEEING
HOW SCIENTISTS USE ADJECTIVES.
AND YOU CAN KEEP DOING
THAT AT HOME.
MAYBE YOU'LL GO TO YOUR WINDOW
AND SEE WHAT ANIMALS YOU
NOTICE OUTSIDE.
YOU CAN ALSO USE ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE THE WEATHER
YOU SEE OUTSIDE.
NOW IF YOU'RE GOING ON A SAFE
WALK WITH YOUR FAMILY,
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE OBSERVATIONS
JUST LIKE A SCIENTIST
ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
COMING UP WITH ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE THE THINGS YOU SEE,
HEAR, FEEL,
SMELL...
AND SOMETIMES,
BUT NOT ALWAYS, TASTE.
NOW I ALSO TAUGHT YOU A REALLY
FUN ADJECTIVE GUESSING GAME
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
OF AN ANIMAL,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND
WHAT IT IS, YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO
USE ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE
AND SEE IF THEY CAN GUESS IT.
SO IT WAS A REALLY FUN LESSON
TODAY TALKING ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
I HOPE YOU LEARNED SOME
NEW THINGS.
I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME GREAT
IDEAS OF LEARNING
YOU CAN CONTINUE DOING AT HOME.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I HOPE YOU HAD FUN.
I'M TEACHER JOEL,
AND IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN
LEARNING TOGETHER WITH YOU TODAY
ON
TVOKIDS POWER HOUR
OF LEARNING.
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN.
THANKS FOR TUNING IN.
BYE, EVERYBODY!

An animated title against a sunny sky reads "TVOKids Power Hour of Learning."
In off, Laura says WELCOME TO TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S PRIMARY LESSON:
APPLES, ADJECTIVES AND ANIMALS -
OH MY!
A caption reads "Primary I-3. Teacher Joel." Joel is in his mid-twenties, with a soft beard and short black hair. He wears a black shirt and headphones.
Joel says HI, STUDENTS, AND WELCOME TO
TODAY'S
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
I'M TEACHER JOEL AND
I'LL BE JOINING YOU TODAY
FOR THE NEXT HOUR,
WHERE WE, TOGETHER,
ARE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE
LOT OF FUN
AND DO SOME INCREDIBLE LEARNING.
TOGETHER WE'LL BE CHECKING OUT
SOME AMAZING SHOWS HERE ON TVO
AND I'M GONNA BE POPPING BACK
IN TO GIVE YOU SOME LESSONS
AND LEARNING IDEAS THAT
YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO CONNECT
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR
SCREEN TO SOME LEARNING AND FUN.
NOW, JUST LIKE WE DO AT SCHOOL,
I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO SIT IN A PLACE
WHERE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
AND READY TO FOCUS WITHOUT
GETTING DISTRACTED.
SO, MAYBE YOU'RE
WATCHING AT HOME ON TV,
OR EVEN ON
THE INTERNET ON A COMPUTER,
BUT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,
I WANT YOU TO SIT IN A PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN SHOW US
YOUR BEST LOOKING, LISTENING,
AND GETTING READY FOR LEARNING.
NOW, BEFORE YOU GET TOO SETTLED,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO MAKE
SURE YOU BRING A PIECE OF PAPER
AND SOMETHING
YOU CAN WRITE WITH.
SO, IF YOU'RE AT HOME AND
YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE NOTEBOOK,
OR A MARKER IN YOUR FAVOURITE
COLOUR, THAT'S GONNA BE PERFECT.
MAKE SURE YOU BRING THAT
WITH YOU AS YOU GET SETTLED,
BECAUSE AS OUR
LEARNING GOES ON TODAY,
YOU AND I ARE GOING
TO BE WORKING TOGETHER,
AND I'LL BE ASKING YOU
TO JOT DOWN SOME IDEAS
FOR YOUR LEARNING.
NOW, TO GET US STARTED,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION,
AND JUST LIKE WE DO AT SCHOOL,
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR
ANSWER BACK TO ME.
SO, MY QUESTION IS SIMPLE.
HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING?
He pauses and continues AWESOME. NOW, MAYBE SOME
OF YOU ANSWERED WITH,
"MY DAY IS GOING GREAT."
MAYBE SOME OF YOU ANSWERED WITH,
"MY DAY IS GOING AWESOME,"
BUT NO MATTER WHAT WORD YOU
CHOSE TO DESCRIBE YOUR DAY,
THE WORD THAT
YOU GAVE ME IS CALLED
AN ADJECTIVE.
ANOTHER WAY TO SAY
ADJECTIVE IS A DESCRIBING WORD.
IT'S A WORD THAT
DESCRIBES SOMETHING
AND GIVES ME MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT IT.
He shows a small white board with a diagram about adjectives.
He continues NOW, WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT ADJECTIVES,
WE REMIND OURSELVES THAT
AN ADJECTIVE CAN DESCRIBE
A PERSON,
A PLACE,
OR A THING.
OUR BIG IDEA TOGETHER IN
THE NEXT HOUR IS GOING TO BE
USING ADJECTIVES IN
OUR READING AND OUR WRITING
AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER LEARNING,
BUT BEFORE YOU HEAR ANYTHING
ELSE FROM ME ABOUT ADJECTIVES,
LET'S TOGETHER CHECK OUT THIS
CLIP FROM THE WACKY WORD SHOW,
THAT'S GONNA GIVE US
A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WE MEAN
WHEN WE SAY "ADJECTIVE."
A song plays IT'S THE WACKY,
WACKY WORD SONG
OH, YEAH
Zoey is in her early teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears dark trousers, a yellow shirt and a denim jacket.
In an attic, Zoey says HI, MY FRIED WROTE TO ME ABOUT
HER VACATION AT THE BEACH.
SHE DESCRIBED EVERYTHING
SO WELL, I FELT LIKE I WAS
THERE WITH HER. IT'S BECAUSE
SHE USED LOTS OF ADJECTIVES.
THOSE ARE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE
PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS
LIKE A SPECTACULAR SUNSET,
COLOURFUL SEASHELLS,
AND HAPPY PEOPLE ON VACATION.
I WROTE THIS BOUNCY,
BUBBLY SONG ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
She plays a song on a tablet.
An animated clip shows her wearing a letter A costume singing next to different objects.
Zoey sings I AM AN ADJECTIVE,
I ADD THE FLAVOUR
WHEN YOU DESCRIBE
PERSON, PLACE, OR THING
JUST LIKE THE SAUCE
THAT MAKES YOUR FOOD TASTY
I MAKE YOUR
SENTENCES MORE EXCITING
ADJECTIVES ARE AWESOME,
YEAH, THAT'S ME
I DESCRIBE THE WORLD
AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE
THIS TEDDY BEAR IS FUZZY,
THIS FROG IS SUPER BUMPY
MY NEIGHBOUR'S CAT
ALWAYS LOOKS SO GRUMPY
THIS MOUSE LOVES CHEESE,
SMELLY, STINKY CHEESE
MY DOG IS GASSY,
EXCUSE HER, PLEASE
SEE, ADJECTIVES CAN
PAINT A PICTURE WITH WORDS
THEY'RE AS AMAZING
AS MAGICAL WIZARDS
I AM AN ADJECTIVE,
I ADD THE FLAVOUR
WHEN YOU DESCRIBE
A PERSON, PLACE, OR THING
JUST LIKE THE SAUCE
THAT MAKES YOUR FOOD TASTY
I MAKE YOUR
SENTENCES MORE EXCITING.
The clip ends.
Zoey says ADJECTIVES ARE WORDS
THAT DESCRIBE THINGS.
SOME OF MY FAVOURITES ARE
CRUNCHY, WACKY, AND FRIENDLY.
WHAT ARE YOURS?
Logo: Apartment 11 Productions.
Joel says ALRIGHT. SO, NOW THAT WE'VE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT AN ADJECTIVE IS,
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW YOU
CAN WORK TO COME UP
WITH YOUR OWN ADJECTIVES.
NOW, WE USE OUR ADJECTIVES
A LOT WHEN WE'RE WRITING,
AND YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO
USE IT A LOT IN YOUR READING.
SO, THEY'RE IMPORTANT
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT.
I'VE GRABBED SOMETHING
FROM MY FRIDGE.
YOU SEE HERE I HAVE AN APPLE.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW I CAN
COME UP WITH
SOME AMAZING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE THIS VERY APPLE.
NOW, WE ARE GOING TO
USE ALL OF OUR SENSES
TO COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
SO, THE FIRST ONE THAT
I LIKE TO USE IS WHAT I SEE.
SO, I'M GOING TO LOOK AT
THIS APPLE AND THINK HOW WOULD
I DESCRIBE WHAT
THIS APPLE LOOKS LIKE?
I'M GOING TO
LOOK CLOSELY AND SAY,
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS APPLE IS RED."
THERE'S AN ADJECTIVE.
IT'S A WORD THAT
DESCRIBES THIS APPLE.
THE APPLE IS RED,
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO STOP THERE.
I CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT
WHAT THIS APPLE SOUNDS LIKE?
THIS APPLE IS HARD.
THERE'S ANOTHER ADJECTIVE
OR A DESCRIBING WORD.
I MIGHT THINK ABOUT
WHAT THE APPLE FEELS LIKE.
THIS APPLE IS SMOOTH.
I CAN EVEN USE MY SENSE OF SMELL
TO COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
He sniffs the apple and says THIS APPLE IS FRESH.
NOW, I MIGHT NOT USE MY SENSE
OF TASTE FOR EVERY
ITEM I'M DESCRIBING,
BUT IF I WANTED TO TAKE
A BITE OF THIS APPLE,
I BET I WOULD COME UP
WITH AN ADJECTIVE LIKE,
OH, THE APPLE IS DELICIOUS.
RED, HARD,
SMOOTH, FRESH,
AND DELICIOUS.
SO, THERE YOU GO.
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES I WAS
ABLE TO COME UP WITH TONS OF
ADJECTIVES FOR THIS APPLE.
NOW, I WANT YOU
TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
IF I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS APPLE,
AND I DON'T
USE THOSE ADJECTIVES,
MY WRITING WOULD PROBABLY SAY,
"TODAY, I ATE AN APPLE."
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S
THE MOST EXCITING
WRITING I CAN COME UP WITH.
SO, IF I DO WHAT I JUST DID,
COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES TO USE
IN MY WRITING,
MY WRITING IS GOING TO
BECOME SOMETHING MORE LIKE,
"TODAY, I ATE A JUICY
AND DELICIOUS APPLE.
I OPENED MY FRIDGE
AND NOTICED IT WAS SHINY AND RED
AND SMELLED FRESH."
NOW, IF YOU'RE READING THAT,
NOT ONLY DOES THAT SOUND
A LITTLE BIT MORE
INTERESTING AND EXCITING,
BUT I'VE USED THOSE ADJECTIVES
TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT
THE APPLE SO THAT YOU CAN
IMAGINE IT IN YOUR HEAD.
YOU CAN IMAGINE
WHAT IT TASTES LIKE.
OKAY, WE USED ADJECTIVES
TO MAKE OUR WRITING
THAT MUCH MORE DESCRIPTIVE.
NOW, YOU AT HOME ARE GOING TO
DO EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID WITH
THIS APPLE.
IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO SAFELY
MOVE IN THE SPACE AROUND YOU
AND FIND AN ITEM THAT
YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HAND
AND DO EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID.
DESCRIBE WITH ADJECTIVES.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA GET UP,
LOOK AROUND YOUR HOUSE,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND
AND BRING BACK TO YOUR SPOT,
BECAUSE YOU, JUST LIKE I DID,
ARE GOING TO COME
UP WITH ADJECTIVES.
ALRIGHT, GO FOR IT.
LET'S SEE WHAT
I CAN FIND NEAR ME.
I'VE ALREADY DONE AN APPLE,
BUT, OH,
I COULD DESCRIBE
MY SHOE WITH ADJECTIVES.
He shows a sneaker and continues I COULD DESCRIBE
THIS MARKER WITH ADJECTIVES.
LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE.
I COULD EVEN BRING BACK
A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.
REMEMBER, WE USE ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE A PERSON,
PLACE, OR THING.
SO, REALLY ANYTHING
YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR HOME,
GRAB IT NOW, CAREFULLY BRING IT
BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE SEATED,
AND WE'RE READY TO GO.
SO, JUST LIKE
I DID WITH THAT APPLE,
YOU MIGHT START WITH
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
COME UP WITH ADJECTIVES
THAT DESCRIBE WHAT YOU SEE,
BUT REMEMBER, DON'T STOP THERE.
YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT WHAT
THIS OBJECT SOUNDS LIKE,
FEELS LIKE.
THERE'S ALL SORTS OF WAYS
WE CAN COME UP WITH
AWESOME ADJECTIVES.
SO, I ASKED YOU TO BRING
SOMETHING YOU CAN WRITE WITH
AND A PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, AT THIS POINT MAYBE YOU'LL
WRITE A LIST OF ADJECTIVES
FOR ALL OF THOSE ITEMS.
NOW, WE CAN ALSO USE ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE OURSELVES,
AND TODAY I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
ABOUT A VERY FUN PIECE OF
WRITING THAT WE'RE GOING TO
DO TOGETHER TO PRACTICE USING
ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE OURSELVES.
IT'S CALLED AN ACROSTIC POEM.
NOW, THE FIRST STEP FOR
THIS ACROSTIC POEM
IS TO TAKE ALL THE LETTERS
OF YOUR NAME
AND WRITE THEM DOWN
YOUR PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, FOR ME, MY NAME IS JOEL.
YOU CAN SEE HERE
I'VE WRITTEN J-O-E-L.
NOW, I'M NOT WRITING IT ACROSS
MY PAPER LIKE I NORMALLY WOULD,
I'M WRITING IT DOWN VERTICALLY.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO
BE A CREATIVE THINKER,
AND COME UP WITH AN ADJECTIVE
THAT NOT ONLY STARTS
WITH EVERY LETTER OF YOUR NAME,
BUT DESCRIBES YOU.
SO, FOR ME,
MY FIRST LETTER IS J.
I'M GONNA THINK OF
AN ADJECTIVES THAT STARTS WITH J
AND DESCRIBES ME.
SO, FOR ME,
I'M GOING TO PUT THE WORD
"JOYFUL."
JOYFUL MEANS REALLY HAPPY.
He takes a marker and writes down the adjective on a white board.
He continues I'M A PRETTY HAPPY GUY.
SO, BESIDE MY LETTER J,
I WRITE THE WORD JOYFUL.
I MOVE ON TO MY O.
AN ADJECTIVE THAT STARTS WITH O
AND DESCRIBES ME.
FOR O I'M GOING TO PUT...
OUTGOING. I LIKE TO TALK,
MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
I MOVE ONTO E.
THAT'S AN EASY ONE.
FOR E...
I'M EXCITED.
I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY,
TEACHING AND LEARNING
WITH YOU AT HOME.
AND MY LAST LETTER IS L.
LET'S SEE.
FOR L I'M GOING TO SAY I AM...
LOVING.
SO, THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN
COMING UP WITH AN ACROSTIC
POEM FOR YOUR NAME
USING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE YOU.
NOW, YOU HEARD ME SAY
THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP.
SO, ON THE PAPER THAT
YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU,
MAYBE YOU'RE GONNA START JOTTING
DOWN ADJECTIVES FOR YOUR NAME
AS YOU THINK OF THEM,
BUT THIS CAN BECOME A REALLY
FUN PROJECT TO WORK ON AT HOME.
ONCE YOU'VE COME UP
WITH THOSE ADJECTIVES,
I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO MAKE A GOOD COPY,
AND WHEN WE MAKE A GOOD COPY,
WE'RE NOT JUST
WRITING THOSE ADJECTIVES,
BUT WE ARE ADDING COLOUR,
YOU KNOW?
AND BECAUSE IT'S
A POEM ABOUT YOU,
MAYBE YOU WILL USE
YOUR FAVOURITE COLOURS.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE
SOME MORE EXCITING LETTERING
LIKE BUBBLE LETTERS
OR BLOCK LETTERS.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO DRAW SOME
PICTURES AND DECORATE IT,
BECAUSE THE FUN THING ABOUT
THIS ACROSTIC NAME POEM IS
NOT ONLY DOES IT
WORK ON OUR WRITING,
IT CAN BECOME A BEAUTIFUL
PIECE OF ART, RIGHT?
IT'S ABOUT YOU, SO MAYBE
YOU'LL WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE
A BEAUTIFUL GOOD COPY,
AND YOU COULD HANG THIS
NAME POEM UP IN YOUR BEDROOM,
ON YOUR BEDROOM DOOR.
NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING
YOU CAN WORK ON TODAY AT HOME,
BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS.
COMING UP WITH AN ADJECTIVE
FOR EVERY LETTER OF YOUR NAME
MIGHT BE A CHALLENGE.
IT MIGHT BE TRICKY,
AND THAT'S OKAY.
DON'T GIVE UP.
THAT'S HOW WE LEARN.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A FEW
STRATEGIES YOU CAN USE AT HOME
IF YOU'RE HAVING A HARD TIME
COMING UP WITH ADJECTIVES
FOR CERTAIN LETTERS
OF YOUR NAME.
WHEN I WAS MAKING
MY ACROSTIC POEM,
I HAD A HARD TIME
THINKING OF ADJECTIVES WITH
THE LETTER J.
SO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET
"ADJECTIVES THAT START WITH
THE LETTER J AND GUESS WHAT?
I CAME ACROSS AN ENTIRE LIST OF
WORDS I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF,
AND IT'S FUN TO LEARN NEW
WORDS TO ADD TO OUR VOCABULARY.
NOW, THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
YOU CAN FIND SOME ADJECTIVES
IF YOU FEEL STUCK,
AND FOR THIS ONE,
I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE
YOU TO PICK ANY BOOK
OFF YOUR BOOKSHELF AT HOME,
BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU NO
MATTER WHAT BOOK YOU CHOSE,
THERE ARE GOING TO BE
A WHOLE LOT OF ADJECTIVES
IN THAT BOOK.
I TOLD YOU EARLIER HOW
WHEN WE'RE WRITERS WE USE
THOSE ADJECTIVES TO GIVE
THE READER A CLEAR PICTURE
OF WHAT THEY'RE READING ABOUT.
SO, NO MATTER WHAT BOOK
YOU CHOSE, I PROMISE YOU,
IF YOU START TO LOOK THROUGH IT,
YOU ARE GOING TO FIND
A WHOLE BUNCH OF ADJECTIVES.
SO, IF YOU'RE STUCK, START
FLIPPING THROUGH A BOOK
TO SEE WHAT
ADJECTIVES YOU CAN THINK OF.
YOU MIGHT EVEN START
WRITING A LIST OF ALL
THE ADJECTIVES YOU CAN FIND.
THAT WAY, WHEN
YOU'RE DOING WRITING,
YOU CAN TAKE OUT
YOUR ADJECTIVES LIST
AND YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE LIST
OF WORDS THAT YOU CAN USE
TO DESCRIBE A PERSON,
A PLACE, OR A THING.
HEY, IF YOU REALLY
LIKE DOING THIS,
YOU COULD EVEN MAKE YOUR
OWN ADJECTIVES DICTIONARY.
MAYBE ON ONE PAGE YOU'LL PUT ALL
THE ADJECTIVES YOU CAN THINK OF
THAT START WITH THE LETTER A
AND ON THE NEXT PAGE
YOU'LL DO ALL THE ADJECTIVES
YOU CAN THINK OF THAT START WITH
THE LETTER B,
AND AGAIN, WHEN YOU GO
AND YOU START TO WRITE A STORY,
OR MAYBE A REPORT FOR SCHOOL,
YOU CAN PULL OUT
ALL THESE ADJECTIVES
AND USE THEM TO MAKE YOUR
WRITING THAT MUCH MORE EXCITING.
ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
I'VE BEEN TALKING
FOR A WHILE NOW,
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT EVERY SO OFTEN,
WHEN I'M LEARNING,
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
GET UP AND MOVE MY BODY.
SO, EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE,
YOU CAN STAND UP,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE A QUICK
MOVEMENT AND HEALTH BREAK,
AND I'LL BE BACK AFTER FOR
EVEN MORE LEARNING AND FUN.
SEE YOU IN A SECOND.
An animated slate shows colourful objects such as balls, ice skates, a watering can and ballet shoes.
In off, Greg says I'VE GOT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU
TO DO EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.
IT'S TIME FOR
GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
(music plays)
Greg stands in a living room. He is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a red TVO Kids shirt.
Greg says HEY, TVOKIDS.
IT'S GREG AND WELCOME TO
GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
TODAY I AM CHALLENGING YOU,
YES, YOU,
TO GET UP OFF YOUR COUCH
AND DO 10 PUSH-UPS WITH ME.
ARE YOU READY? WAIT, HOLD ON.
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN
HOW TO DO A PUSH-UP FIRST.
START WITH YOUR
PALMS ON THE GROUND,
SLIGHTLY WIDER THAN
SHOULDER WIDTH APART,
JUST UNDER YOUR ARM PITS.
FROM HERE,
INHALE AS YOU LOWER DOWN
'TIL YOUR CHEST
TOUCHES THE GROUND.
EXHALE AS YOU PUSH UP.
COMMON MISTAKES.
NOT LOWERING ALL THE WAY DOWN
AND NOT KEEPING
YOUR BODY STRAIGHT.
HERE'S A LITTLE TIP.
IF YOU FIND PUSH-UPS
TOO DIFFICULT,
YOU CAN DO THEM FROM YOUR KNEES.
ALRIGHT, TVOKIDS, YOU'VE JUST
LEARNED HOW TO DO A PUSH-UP.
SO, LET'S DO IT.
GET OFF YOUR COUCH.

GOOD JOB, TVOKIDS.
THIS WAS GREG'S DAILY CHALLENGE.
I'LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME,
BUT UNTIL THEN, EAT YOUR
VEGETABLES AND STAY ACTIVE.
Joel says WELCOME BACK, STUDENTS.
THAT WAS AN AWESOME
MOVEMENT BREAK.
I THINK WE'RE READY TO
MOVE ON WITH SOME MORE LEARNING.
NOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING
A LOT TODAY ABOUT ADJECTIVES
BUT SPECIFICALLY HOW
WE USE THEM IN OUR READING
AND OUR WRITING,
BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT
READERS AND WRITERS
ARE NOT THE ONLY LEARNERS
WHO USE ADJECTIVES?
IN FACT,
SCIENTISTS USE ADJECTIVES
EVERY SINGLE DAY
IN THEIR SCIENCE WORK,
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I LOVE SCIENCE.
SO, TODAY, YOU AND I ARE
GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO BE
ANIMAL SCIENTISTS, AND JUST
LIKE THOSE SCIENTISTS DO,
WE ARE GONNA MAKE
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT AN ANIMAL
AND WE'RE GONNA
PRACTICE USING ADJECTIVES
TO DESCRIBE THAT ANIMAL.
NOW, TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE
LEARNING ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL
TYPE OF ANIMAL.
IT'S CALL THE SNOWY OWL,
AND IN THIS EPISODE
OF WILD KRATTS,
YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN ALL SORTS
OF THINGS ABOUT SNOWY OWLS,
AND YOU'RE EVEN GONNA
GET TO SEE ONE IN ACTION.
SO, HERE'S WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
BEFORE WE START THAT EPISODE.
ON YOUR PIECE OF PAPER,
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE
A SCIENTIST LIST,
AND YOU'RE GONNA
GIVE THAT LIST A TITLE.
SO, I WANT YOU TO WRITE
"SNOWY OWL ADJECTIVES."
AT THE TOP, OKAY?
YOU CAN WORK ON DOING THAT NOW,
AND HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO
DO WITH THAT LIST.
AS WE'RE WATCHING
THIS EPISODE TOGETHER.
I WANT YOU TO REALLY
STUDY THOSE SNOWY OWLS,
AND ANY TIME YOU THINK OF
AN ADJECTIVE THAT DESCRIBES
THAT ANIMAL, YOU'RE GONNA
WRITE IT TO YOUR LIST.
SO, EVERY TIME YOU ADD
AN ADJECTIVE THAT LIST IS GOING
TO GROW AND GROW AND GROW.
REMEMBER,
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADJECTIVES,
WORDS THAT DESCRIBE
THE SNOWY OWL,
AND I KNOW THERE'S GOING
TO BE A LOT OF EXAMPLES OF THAT
IN THIS EPISODE.
SO, YOU'RE LIST SHOULD BE
READY TO GO. SET UP AT THE TOP,
SNOWY OWL ADJECTIVES.
WE'RE GONNA ENJOY THIS EPISODE
OF WILD KRATTS TOGETHER,
AND WHEN WE
COME BACK AT THE END,
I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE A LIST OF AMAZING
ADJECTIVES ABOUT A SNOWY OWL.
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says WILD KRATTS!
The Kratts Brothers walk in the snow. Chris wears a green jacket and Martin wears a blue jacket.
Martin says HEY, WE'RE HERE IN
NORTH AMERICA. WAY UP NORTH.
NOT QUITE THE ARCTIC,
BUT GETTING CLOSE.
IN A HABITAT KNOWN AS
THE NORTHERN WOODLANDS.
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS.
I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS. WHEN YOU'RE
HIKING AROUND THROUGH THE SNOW
THIS TIME OF YEAR,
THERE ARE LOTS OF SNOW PILES,
SNOW HILLS, AND SNOW BUMPS.
Martin says BUT MAKE SURE YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
BECAUSE SOME OF THAT SNOW MIGHT
BE MORE THAN JUST SNOW.
LOOK FOR THE YELLOW EYES.
Chris says THERE!
The Brothers say A SNOWY OWL!
Chris says A SNOWY OWL IS
AN ARCTIC CREATURE FROM
A LAND WHERE THERE ARE NO TREES.
SO, WHY WOULD YOU FIND
A SNOWY OWL THIS FAR SOUTH?
Martin says ABOUT EVERY FOUR YEARS,
THERE'S A VERY SPECIAL
WILDLIFE EVENT WHEN MANY
SNOWY OWLS START FLYING
SOUTH IN WHAT'S
CALLED AN ERUPTION.
Chris says THEY'LL FLY DOWN TO OTTAWA,
BOSTON, WASHINGTON DC,
EVEN ALL THE WAY
DOWN SOUTH TO FLORIDA.
Martin says JUST LIKE OUR GRANDPA.
SO, IF YOU EVER GET LUCKY
ENOUGH TO SEE A SNOWY OWL
LIVE AND IN PERSON,
CHECK OUT THEIR CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says AMAZING YELLOW EYES THAT
CAN SEE FOR A KILOMETRE.
Martin says AND A HEAD THAT
CAN SWIVEL 280 DEGREES.
Chris says STRONG TALONS.
Martin says TOES COVERED WITH WARM,
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS.
Chris says AND WHAT A POWERFUL FLYER!
Martin says WITH SPECIAL WING FEATHERS
THAT SILENCE THE FLAPS.
Chris says THAT ALL MAKES THE SNOWY OWL
A DANGEROUS PREDATOR.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
FLY THROUGH THE WINTER
WITH SNOWY OWL POWERS.
The Brothers say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says ON ADVENTURE WITH THE COOLEST CREATURES, FROM THE OCEANS TO THE TREES, THE BROTHERS KRATT ARE GOING PLACES YOU NEVER GET TO SEE, HANGING WITH THEIR CREATURE FRIENDS. GET READY, IT'S THE HOUR, WE'RE GONNA SAVE SOME ANIMALS TODAY WITH CREATURE POWER! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues CHEETAH SPEED AND LIZARD GLIDE, FALCON FLIGHT AND LION PRIDE, GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS. GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS!
The name of the episode appears. It reads "Snowy Owl Invasion."
Turned into pandas, the brothers play around in a forest. The rest of the team watches them.
Aviva says CAN YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVE?
Koki says I FORGOT AN HOUR AGO.
Martin says I CAN SWIM UNDERWATER
FASTER THAN YOU.
WHOA!
(grunting)
HM.
Chris says WELL, I CAN CLIMB
BAMBOO FASTER THAN YOU.
Martin says UH-OH.
Martin gets kicked away by a branch.
Martin says WHOA! PANDA'S DON'T FLY!
Chris says THAT WAS EASY.
Talking to a baby panda, he says HEY, BUD. WANT TO PLAY?
UH-OH.
Martin lands over Chris.
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy laugh.
Martin says HEY, STUFFO.
Jimmy says DO THAT AGAIN, BROS.
(alarm ringing)
Koki says THE WILD KRATTS ALARM!
She checks her tablet and says THERE'S A DISTURBANCE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
Aviva says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Koki says NOT SURE.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE TORTUGA.
Jimmy says SEE YOU!
Martin says WHOA!
Chris says BYE, STUFFO.
Martin says SEE YOU LATER.
Martin and Chris het stick in the Tortuga door.
Koki looks at the wall screen showing a world map.
She says WILD KRATTS TEAM HERE.
IT'S KATIE.
Katie says THERE'S A SNOWY OWL
SITTING ON MY SWING SET.
Koki says THAT FAR SOUTH?
Another girl pops up in the map and says HI, KOKI. I THOUGHT IT
WAS A WHITE PELICAN,
BUT THEN IT TURNED ITS HEAD.
Aviva says A SNOWY OWL?
ALL THE WAY DOWN IN FLORIDA?
Koki says THERE ARE SNOWY OWLS BEING
SPOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE.
HM.
Red circles flash in the whole map.
Chris says MARTIN, WE GOT TO GET IN THERE.
Martin says I KNOW. HEY, LET'S DEACTIVATE.
YES! OF COURSE.
(both grunting)
They deactivate going back to their human shape.
Martin says I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
SNOWY OWLS ARE AN ARCTIC SPECIES
OF THE TREELESS TUNDRA.
THEY BELONG HERE, WAY UP NORTH.
Chris says BUT SUDDENLY,
THEY'RE SHOWING UP SO FAR SOUTH
IN PLACES THEY DON'T
NORMALLY LIVE. WHY?
Martin says IT'S A SNOWY OWL INVASION.
Chris says AND A CREATURE MYSTERY.
WE HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
Aviva says BUT WE'RE SO FAR AWAY.
WAY OVER HERE IN CHINA.
Martin says I'VE GOT IT. WE'LL FLY
STRAIGHT OVER THE NORTH POLE.
THAT'S THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE,
AND WE'LL PASS OVER THE ARCTIC.
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris says OH, YEAH, AND AS WE PASS BY,
WE CAN DROP IN AND LOOK FOR
SOME CLUES AS TO WHY
SO MANY SNOWY OWLS
HAVE LEFT THE ARCTIC.
They all say TO THE ARCTIC!
Meanwhile, Donita, a fashion designer, looks through a window drinking a cup of coffee as snows falls.
Donita says DABIO, MY EARS ARE COLD.
Dabio is her blond henchman.
Dabio says LOOK, DONITA.
THAT'S A BIG SNOWFLAKE.
Donita says HUH?
She gasps and says OH, MY.
(slurping)
(chuckling)
The Tortuga lands in the Arctic.
(sniffing)
Martin says AH, THE TUNDRA.
FLAT, TREELESS, SNOWY, AND COLD.
Chris says THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
ALRIGHT, TIME TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE
AND WHY THE SNOWY OWLS
MIGHT BE LEAVING.
Chris stands in a white mound.
Martin says UH, CHRIS?
The mound is actually a polar bear.
Chris says OH, OKAY. FOUND A POLAR BEAR.
HM, WHAT IS THIS?
(exhaling)
(laughing)
OH, A WALRUS.
WA-HOO! OH, YEAH.
WHOA!
Koki says LOOK OUT!
Aviva says HEY, A SNOWSHOE HARE.
Jimmy says WELL, YOU FOUND SOME
WILDLIFE REAL QUICK,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH, WHERE ARE THE SNOWY OWLS?
Koki says IT MIGHT TAKE
A WHILE TO FIND THEM.
Chris says HM, ALRIGHT.
WHY DON'T KOKI AND I SET
UP A MOBILE RESEARCH CAMP?
WE'LL STAY AND SEARCH
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS
AND MORE CLUES IN
THEIR NATIVE HABITAT.
Martin says AND WE'LL HEAD SOUTH IN
THE TORTUGA TO TRACK THOSE
INVADING SNOWY OWLS.
(shivering)
Chris says WE'LL EACH COLLECT CLUES
AND ADD THEM TOGETHER.
Martin says THAT'S HOW WE'LL
FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERY OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
LET'S GO.
Aviva says SEE YOU, KOKI!
Martin says BYE, CHRIS.
Koki and Chris say BYE!
Dabio says DONITA, WHERE DID THESE
FLUFFY WHITE BIRDIES COME FROM?
Donita says NOT INTERESTED AND DON'T
ASK ME WHY THEY'RE HERE.
ALL I KNOW IS THEY ARE
PRECISELY WHAT I WANT.
NOTE THE FLUFFINESS AND APPARENT
WARMTH OF THE WHITE FEATHERS.
THESE OWLS WILL MAKE
THE WARMEST AND MOST WONDERFUL
WHITE WINTER HATS. POSE BEAM.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
He shoots a pose beam to an owl.
Donita says LIFT ME, DABIO. WHOA!
AH, THIS IS IT.
OH, IT'S BEEN SUCH
A QUIET WINTER SEASON.
THE FASHION WORLD HAS
BEEN DESPERATELY WAITING
FOR THESE WINTER HATS.
DONITA DONATA
ONCE AGAIN DELIVERS.
She wears the owl as a hat.
She says OOH, IT'S SO WARM.
(Tortuga approaching)
Gavin says THEY'RE HERE. WILD KRATTS!
Martin says HEY, EVERYBODY!
Aviva says WE MADE IT.
Martin says WOW! NOW THAT'S AN AWESOME OWL.
Aviva says QUE BONITA.
Katie says WE WERE JUST MAKING A SNOWMAN
AND THEN THE OWL LANDED.
Martin says HEY, I THINK
I'M GETTING SOMETHING HERE.
A GREAT NAME FOR A SNOWY OWL.
I'M GONNA CALL YOU...
Gavin says WE ALREADY GAVE HIM A NAME.
Ronan says YEAH, MARTIN.
WE NAMED HIM LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.
Katie says YEAH, HE HAS A NAME,
Martin chuckles and says WELL, WHAT IS IT THEN?
The kids say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL.
Martin says FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL?
HM, I LOVE IT!
He sings FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL
LEFT THE ARCTIC
TUNDRA ONE DAY
HE FLEW DOWN HERE
AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHY HE CAME OR WILL HE STAY?
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
LOOK AT FROSTY FLY
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
FLAPPITY, FLAP-FLAP
SNOWFLAKE IN THE SKY
The kids say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL.
Martin says THANK YOU!
Aviva says VERY ENTERTAINING, MARTINO,
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY
FROSTY HAS COME
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
Jimmy says YEAH.
Martin says I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND
THE OWL IS TO BE THE OWL.
UH, SNOW OWL POWER DISC.
Aviva says UH, WE'VE NEVER MADE
A SNOWY OWL POWER DISC.
Martin says WHAT? BUT SNOWY OWLS ARE
ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING
OWLS IN THE WORLD.
Gavin says YOU DO HAVE
AN ELF OWL POWER DISC.
Katie says AND A BURROWING OWL DISC.
Martin says HM, OWLS DO HAVE SOME
BASIC FEATURES IN COMMON.
Projecting an owl on a holo screen, he continues ONE, THEY CAN ROTATE
THEIR HEADS 270 DEGREES.
TWO, THEY HAVE BETTER HEARING
THAN HAWKS AND EAGLES.
AND THREE,
THEY HAVE ROUND LOOKING HEADS.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES AN OWL AN OWL.
Aviva says YES, THOSE ARE
SIMILARITIES I CAN BUILD ON.
WE CAN START WITH THE BASIC OWL,
AND FROM THERE I'LL PROGRAM
THE SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE SNOWY OWL
STARTING WITH THE SUPER WARM,
FLUFFY, WHITE FEATHERS.
Martin says AND HERE'S A WOW FACT.
SNOWIES HAVE
THE WARMEST FEATHERS
OF ANY OWL IN THE WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT.
THE FEET OF THE SNOWY OWL
IS COVERED IN FEATHERS.
MOST OWLS HAVE BARE FEET,
YOU KNOW.
Aviva says WELL, THEN. I BETTER ADD
FEATHER-COVERED FEET
TO MAKE IT A SNOWY OWL
POWER SUIT.
TIME TO GET INVENTING.
Next, Chris says LOOK! A SNOWY OWL.
IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND ONE.
Koki says THIS IS THE FIRST OWL
WE'VE SEEN ANYWHERE.
Chris says I DON'T GET IT. THIS IS WHERE
SNOWY OWLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
THIS IS THEIR HABITAT.
THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR
THE COLDEST WEATHER
ALL YEAR LONG IN THE ARCTIC.
BUT THERE AREN'T MANY AROUND.
Martin appears on Chris's forearm screen.
Martin says WELL, THERE ARE
A LOT DOWN HERE.
HEY, AVIVA.
Aviva says HM?
Martin says ANOTHER ONE LANDED
JUST BEHIND YOU.
Aviva says WHAT?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. WHOA.
(laughing)
OWLS ALWAYS SURPRISE ME.
Martin says EXACTLY.
OWLS ARE SURPRISE ARTISTS.
OWLS HAVE SOFT FEATHERS IN
THEIR WINGS THAT MUFFLE SOUND.
HEAR THAT?
Frosty flies away.
Katie says NO.
Martin says EXACTLY.
Garvin says WHERE'S FROSTY GOING?
Aviva says AND THIS OWL'S EYES.
THEY'RE LIKE GOLD. BEAUTIFUL!
Martin says WOW, EYES LIKE GOLD.
I'VE GOT IT.
I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
Ronan says GOLD NUGGET!
Martin chuckles and says HEY!
Aviva says THIS IS ALL GREAT STUFF
FOR AN OWL POWER SUIT.
(typing)
Gavin says FROSTY IS CHASING GOLD NUGGET!
WHOA!
Martin says INTERESTING.
Donita says OH, YES, IT'S PERFECT, BUT I'LL
NEED TO COLLECT MORE MATERIAL.
DABIO, THIS IS
AN IDEAL ASSIGNMENT FOR
MY NEW
MANNEQUIN COLLECTOR UNITS.
Dabio says OH, GOODY, GOODY, GOODY, GOODY.
Talking to three mannequin robots, Donita says STRIKE A POSE.
THIS! THIS IS THE MATERIAL
YOU WILL BE COLLECTING.
POWER UP POSE BEAMS.
DEPLOY FOR COLLECTION!
Using binoculars, Chris says HEY, THIS OWL SEES SOMETHING.
Koki says LET ME SEE.
Chris says SNOWY OWLS HAVE
AMAZING POWERS OF SIGHT.
A SNOWY OWL CAN SEE
MOVEMENT FROM A KILOMETRE AWAY.
INCOMING! ANOTHER SNOWY OWL!
WHOA, THE OLD OWL DOESN'T
LIKE THE NEW OWL BEING HERE.
Koki says LOOK, HE'S CHASING HIM AWAY.
Chris says HE DROVE HIM OFF.
THEY'RE VERY TERRITORIAL.
Koki says CHRIS, THAT MAY BE
ANOTHER CLUE TO OUR MYSTERY.
Chris says IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY
SNOWY OWLS ARE DOWN SOUTH.
Aviva says AND THERE'S SOON TO BE ONE MORE.
READY TO BECOME PART OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION, MARTIN?
She tosses Martin a disc.
Martin says UH, YEAH!
ACTIVATE SNOWY OWL POWERS.
He morphs into a big owl.
He says WOW!
THIS SUIT IS COMFY.
Aviva says OOH, SOFT.
Gavin says AND WARM!
They all hug Martin.
Katie says LIKE A FUZZY,
FEATHERY COMFORTER.
Martin laughs and says COME ON, GUYS. LOOK AT HIS FACE.
THIS IS ONE SERIOUS CREATURE.
NO MORE HUGS.
AND HE IS HUNTING FOR SURVIVAL!
Martin chases the owl and says HM, SO WHAT'S HE LOOKING FOR?
A-HA! A SNOWSHOE HARE.
WHOO! HE GOT AWAY THIS TIME.
Jimmy and the rest of the team watch everything on a projected holo screen.
Jimmy says YEAH, BUT LOOK AT WHAT
ELSE SNOWY OWLS ARE CATCHING.
CANADA GEESE
AND SMALL ALLIGATORS.
Martin says IT'S AMAZING. THE SNOWY OWL
IS SUCH A STRONG PREDATOR.
SHE CAN CATCH BIG PREY
OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES,
BUT ODDLY, SHE MOSTLY LIKES
TO HUNT SMALLER RODENTS.
A SNOWY OWL CAN CATCH 1,600
SMALL RODENTS A YEAR.
HEY, THAT'S WHAT WE DIDN'T SEE
IN THE ARCTIC. SMALL RODENTS!
(phone ringing)
Martin says CHRIS, HAVE YOU SEEN
ANY SMALL RODENTS UP THERE?
Chris says NO! YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T.
Koki says I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EITHER,
AND IN THIS WHITENESS,
A LITTLE BROWN RODENT LIKE
A LEMMING SHOULD STAND OUT,
AND THERE SHOULD BE
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF THEM
IN THIS AREA AROUND US.
Chris says HM, A-HA!
OF COURSE. THE LEMMINGS
MUST BE IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE.
WE'VE GOT TO CHECK,
AND THERE'S ONLY
ONE WAY TO DO THAT.
WITH THE MINIATURIZER.
They jump into a laser.
Chris and Koki say MINIATURIZE!
Chris says OKAY, NOW WE JUST
HAVE TO FIND A WAY INTO...
They fall into a hole in the snow.
They say WHOA!
(Both screaming and grunting)
Chris says WE'RE HERE. THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
Koki says DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Several lemmings run away.
Chris says WHOA, IT'S LIKE A NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR.
Koki says I THINK THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT CLUE.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LEMMINGS.
THE SNOWY OWL'S FAVOURITE MEAL.
Koki says BUT THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE SNOW.
SO, THE SNOWY OWLS
CAN'T GET TO THEM.
Chris says THAT MUST HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH
THE SNOWY OWLS FLYING SOUTH.
Katie says LOOK! FROSTY'S BACK.
Martin says AND SO AM I, AND I CAN TELL YOU,
SNOWY OWL POWERS ARE AMAZING.
A flying mannequin attacks Frosty.
Martin says HUH? FLYING MANNEQUINS?
Gavin says THEY'RE AFTER FROSTY.
Katie says AND GOLD NUGGET.
The mannequin grabs Gold Nugget.
Ronan says OH, NO! POOR GOLD NUGGET.
Martin says THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB
FOR SNOWY OWL POWERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAY.
They say TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin says OH, NO YOU DON'T!
DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ME COMING.
Martin kicks the mannequin away.
He says HEAD NORTH, FROSTY.
In her aircraft, Donita laughs and says THIS IS FABULOUS,
BUT I NEED MORE DABIO.
LET'S LAND IN SEARCH FOR MORE.
Dabio says OKIE DOKIE, DONITA.
Aviva says DONITA WITH A SNOWY OWL HAT?
MARTIN, DONITA'S CAPTURING
SNOWY OWLS TO MAKE WINTER HATS!
LOOK OUT! MORE OF
DONITA'S ATTACK MANNEQUINS.
Martin says HEY, DONITA. SNOWY OWLS
ARE ANIMALS, NOT MATERIALS.
Donita says OH, SO IT'S A FLYING MARTINO.
CATCH HIM AND PUT HIM IN THE JAR
WITH THE REST OF THE OWLS.
The mannequins shoot lasers at Martin.
Martin says MISSED ME!
Donita says GET HIM!
Aviva says COME ON, VAMONOS.
LET'S RESCUE THE SNOWY OWLS
AND GET THEM TO SAFETY.
Martin says WHOO, MISSED AGAIN.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio says WHERE'S THE DUCK? I LIKE
DUCKS MUCH BETTER THAN OWLS.
Martin tosses a defeated mannequin that pushes Dabio.
Dabio says OH.
Donita says DABIO? DABIO? WHERE'D YOU GO?
DUCK!
Dabio says ANOTHER DUCK?
Donita says CATCH HIM!
Martin says GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
A pose beam freezes Martin.
Donita laughs and says WE'LL USE HIM FOR
A PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY
FOR MY NEW SNOWY OWL HATS.
HE'LL BE A MANNEQUIN
IN THE STORES.
MARTIN THE MANNEQUIN.
STUFF HIM IN WITH THE OTHERS.
Later, Aviva says ALL SAFE. NOW WE NEED A PLAN
TO TURN OFF THE POSE BEAM.
Ronan says AVIVA, LOOK! THEY'RE GOT MARTIN!
(muffled shouting)
Aviva says NO POWER, NO POSE BEAM.
She turns off the mannequin.
Martin says THANKS, AVIVA.
Aviva says NO HAY PROBLEMA.
Martin says NOW, MAY I SEND THIS
MANNEQUIN BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE?
Aviva says WHY, OF COURSE.
Donita says OH, DABIO. TIME TO...
Martin says HEY, DONITA.
I REALLY LIKE DOING THIS.
Donita says NOT AGAIN! DUCK!¡
OH, WHY BOTHER?
Dabio says NO DUCK!
Donita says GREEN GRASS?
FLOWERS? SPRING IS HERE!
IT'S A NEW SEASON.
SNOWY OWL HATS ARE
NO LONGER IN STYLE.
YOU DID NOT DEFEAT ME.
I SIMPLY DON'T
WANT THEM ANYMORE.
LET'S GO, DABIO.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
Her aircraft takes off.
Aviva says WELL, DONITA'S
RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING.
IT'S WARMING UP.
SPRING IS COMING.
Martin says AND THE SNOWY OWLS ARE
HEADING NORTH TO THE ARCTIC.
LET'S GO!
Next, they all gather outside the Tortuga.
Chris says WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?
Aviva says THIS TIME MARTIN HAD A GOOD
REASON FOR GETTING DISTRACTED.
Martin says YEAH, WE HAD TO STOP DONITA FROM
TURNING ALL THE SNOWY OWLS INTO
SNOW HATS. LUCKILY I OBSERVED
HOW OWLS USE AERIAL COMBAT
AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THAT
SNOWY OWL POWER TO CHASE OFF
DONITA'S NEW ATTACK MANNEQUINS
JUST LIKE OWLS CHASE EACH OTHER.
He goes back to his human shape.
Chris says HMM. SO YOU SAW OWLS
DO THAT TOO?
THEY MUST BE DOING IT BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT MUCH FOOD
ON THE SURFACE, SO THEY HAVE TO
PROTECT THEIR TERRITORY.
Koki says YEAH! WE THINK THAT LEMMINGS ARE
REALLY HARD TO GET TO
IN THE WINTER, BECAUSE THEY'RE
UNDER THE SNOW.
Aviva says LOOK! THERE'S SO MANY LEMMINGS
OUT IN THE SPRING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOOD FOR
LOTS OF OWLS.
Chris says THE MALE SNOWY OWL CATCHES
LEMMINGS AND BRINGS THEM
TO THE FEMALE AT THE NEST.
THIS HAS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE
THE FEMALES SNOWY OWLS
ARE BUSY LAYING EGGS.
Martin says SO IN SUMMERS WHEN THERE ARE
LOTS OF LEMMINGS,
LOTS OF EGGS ARE LAID,
AND LOTS OF CHICKS HATCH!
MORE LEMMINGS EQUALS MORE
BABY SNOWY OWLS.
Chris says THERE ARE ENOUGH LEMMINGS TO
FEED EVERYONE!
BUT WHEN WINTER COMES,
AND THE LEMMINGS TAKE REFUGE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE,
THEY'RE NO LONGER EASY
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS TO CATCH!
Martin says AND THERE ARE SO MANY
SNOWY OWLS!
SO THE OLDER ONES DRIVE
THE YOUNGER ONES
OUT OF THEIR TERRITORIES.
THE YOUNGER ONES THEN FLY SOUTH
TO NEW PLACES FOR THE WINTER.
The Brothers say THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY
OF THE SNOWY OWL INVASION!
The kids say YEAH! YAY!
Martin says HERE YOU GO, GUYS,
FOR A JOB WELL DONE!
He hands them ice creams.
The kids say MMM! YUM!
Martin says AND BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY
I'M GONNA GET
TO NAME AN OWL TODAY...
(chuckling)
I'M GONNA NAME YOU... HMM.
SCOOP!
Ronan says SCOOP? LIKE A SCOOP OF
ICE CREAM?
Martin says YEAH! SCOOP!
Gavin says MARTIN'S FINALLY GOTTEN TO NAME
A SNOWY OWL.
Martin says YEAH!
Chris says AND WE GOT TO SEE LOTS
OF SNOWY OWLS
LIVING FREE AND IN THE ARCTIC.
Now the show turns back to real life.
Martin says WOW, THE SNOWY OWL! A SUPER
PREDATOR OF THE ARCTIC.
Chris says HE'S GOT ALL THE ADAPTATIONS TO
SURVIVE IN THE COLD AND SNOW.
IT STARTS WITH THOSE FEATHERS.
THE GUARD FEATHERS THAT KEEP OUT
THE SNOW AND THE COLD WIND.
WITH DOWNY WARM FEATHERS
UNDERNEATH.
AND OF COURSE THE FEATHERS
ARE WHITE.
THAT GIVES THEM PERFECT
CAMOUFLAGE
TO HIDE FROM PREDATORS, AND MOST
OF ALL, PREY.
Martin says AND CHECK OUT THOSE SPECIAL
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS
THAT COVER HIS TOES!
THAT KEEPS THE TOES WARM!
THE TOES SITTING IN THE SNOW ARE
PERFECTLY WARM
IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES!
Chris says YEAH! SNOWY OWLS LOVE THE SNOW!
THEY PLAY IN THE SNOW AND EVEN
TAKE SNOW BATHS!
Martin says WHEN THE SNOWY OWLS FLY DOWN
FROM THE ARCTIC,
WE ARE REALLY IN FOR
A SPECIAL TREAT.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
THE ROAD OR WALKING TO SCHOOL,
YOU MIGHT LOOK OVER
INTO A FIELD,
AND THERE'S A BIG LUMP OF WHITE
WITH TWO YELLOW EYES,
AND YOU'VE SPOTTED A SNOWY OWL!
SO YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE GROUND,
LOOK AT FENCE POSTS, THEY LIKE
TO PERCH THERE.
AND CHECK OUT THE TOPS OF
TELEPHONE POLES,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST GET LUCKY
ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL DOWN SOUTH.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SNOWY OWLS
ARE ONE OF THE MANY COOL OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES, THE
GREAT HORNED OWL.
A CLOSE RELATIVE OF
THE SNOWY OWL.
THEY'VE GOT THE EAR TUFTS, KIND
OF A FOREST PREDATOR.
THEY LIKE TO BE IN THE WOODS,
THESE GREAT HORNED OWLS.
AND THEY HUNT ALL SORTS
OF THINGS.
Chris says AND THEN THERE ARE
BURROWING OWLS!
THEY'RE AN OWL THAT SPENDS A LOT
OF TIME STANDING AROUND
ON THE GROUND IN THE DESERT.
AND THEY EVEN NEST UNDERGROUND,
IN PRAIRIE DOG BURROWS.
AND I LOVE THAT LITTLE OWL THAT
NESTS IN CACTUS.
THE ELF OWL! A LITTLE OWL
OF THE DESERT.
ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING OWLS IN
THE CREATURE WORLD.
Martin says WE'VE GOTTA DO MORE CREATURE
ADVENTURES WITH OWLS!
Chris says OH, YEAH! OWLS ARE AWESOME.
Martin says KEEP ON CREATURE
ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE
CREATURE TRAIL!

The episode ends.
Joel says AND WE'RE BACK!
THAT WAS A SUPER EPISODE,
AND I KNOW YOU CAME UP WITH TONS
OF ADJECTIVES ABOUT SNOWY OWLS.
NOW, USING ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE ANIMALS
NOT ONLY HELPS WITH OUR SCIENCE
LEARNING,
BUT I KNOW A REALLY FUN GAME YOU
CAN PLAY AT HOME
WITH YOUR FAMILY TO PRACTICE
USING THOSE ADJECTIVES.
AND HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
YOU ARE GOING TO THINK
OF AN ANIMAL.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO TELL
THAT ANIMAL TO THE PERSON
YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME
WITH, OKAY?
YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP
THAT IDEA IN YOUR HEAD.
THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GONNA DO
IS USE ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE
THAT ANIMAL
TO THE PERSON YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH.
AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE IF THOSE
ADJECTIVES
ARE ENOUGH FOR THE PERSON YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH
TO GUESS YOUR ANIMAL, OKAY?
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. I'M
THINKING OF AN ANIMAL RIGHT NOW.
NOW I'M NOT GONNA TELL IT TO
YOU, BUT I HAVE SOME ADJECTIVES
I'M GONNA USE TO DESCRIBE WHAT
THIS ANIMAL IS LIKE.
I WANT YOU TO TRY TO GUESS THE
ANIMAL, SO SHOUT IT OUT
IF YOU KNOW IT!
THE ANIMAL I'M THINKING OF
IS SCALY,
SLIMY, AND SLITHERY.
SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS JUST BASED
OFF THOSE ADJECTIVES.
SCALY, SLIMY,
AND SLITHERY.
ANYONE HAVE A GUESS?
I'M THINKING OF...
A SNAKE!
COULD YOU GUESS IT FROM MY THREE
ADJECTIVES?
ALL RIGHT, I'VE GOT ANOTHER. OH!
I'M THINKING OF AN ANIMAL
THAT IS SPOTTED,
AND TALL.
IN FACT, I'M THINKING OF AN
ANIMAL THAT IS SPOTTED
AND VERY TALL.
CAN YOU GUESS IT FROM THOSE
ADJECTIVES?
I WAS THINKING OF...
A GIRAFFE! YOU GOT IT!
SO THIS IS A FUN GAME YOU CAN DO
AT HOME TO PRACTICE
USING ADJECTIVES IN YOUR
EVERYDAY LIFE.
AND GUESS WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE
TO PLAY IT WITH ANIMALS.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY COULD PLAY
IT, HMM... DESCRIBING A FOOD,
DESCRIBING A PLACE,
MAYBE EVEN DESCRIBING
A PERSON YOU KNOW.
BUT REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TELL THEM WHAT IT IS,
YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO USE
THE POWER OF ADJECTIVES,
OF DESCRIBING WORDS,
TO GIVE THEM THOSE CLUES
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF.
HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE!
NOW TODAY WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
THE BIG IDEA OF ADJECTIVES.
AND AT THE START
OF OUR HOUR,
I WAS THINKING ABOUT ADJECTIVES
ABOUT AN APPLE.
AND JUST NOW, YOU WERE THINKING
OF ADJECTIVES ABOUT ANIMALS.
DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT
THOSE THREE WORDS?
LISTEN AGAIN. ADJECTIVES.
APPLES.
ANIMALS. WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?
I NOTICE THAT ALL THREE OF THOSE
WORDS START WITH
THE LETTER A! YOU GOT IT.
THAT'S AWESOME. THAT'S AMAZING.
HEY! THOSE ARE TWO MORE WORDS
THAT START WITH A!
RIGHT NOW TOGETHER
WE'RE GOING TO CHECK OUT
A FUN ALPHABET VIDEO
ALL ABOUT THE LETTER A!
I WONDER HOW MANY LETTER A WORDS
YOU CAN COME UP WITH!
A clip plays.
TVO Kids and Goddard Brown original.
[GIGGLES]
The name of the show reads "ABC Singsong, by Warren Brown and Adam Goddard."
An announcer says IT'S AN ABC SINGSONG
ABOUT THE LETTER A!
An animated man with curly green hair sings a song that says AH-AH-AH
A IS FOR APPLE
FRESH FROM A TREE
A IS FOR AIRPLANE
FLYING OVER ME
AH-AH-ALLIGATOR
LOTS OF THINGS START WITH A
AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST FOR YOU
YEAH!
A IS FOR AARDVARK
HAPPY TO BE HERE
(HAPPY TO BE HERE)
A IS FOR ANT,
AND SO IS ANTEATER
A IS FOR ASTRONAUT,
APRICOT
HEY, WHY NOT?
AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST
(LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST)
A IS FOR ANGEL FISH,
AQUARIUM TOO
A IS FOR APE,
CHILLIN' AT THE ZOO
A IS FOR ARM,
WAVING RIGHT AT YOU
COME ON, AH-AH-AH
LET'S MAKE AN A-LIST
FOR YOU
A caption reads "Produced in association with TVO Kids. Marney Malabar, Executive producer, TVO."
The clip ends.
Joel says THAT ALPHABET VIDEO WAS
A LOT OF FUN!
AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU,
IT GOT ME THINKING
ABOUT HOW WE CAN USE
THE ALPHABET TO PRACTICE
AND LEARN EVEN MORE
ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
I'VE GOT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GO THROUGH
EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET
WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING
AT HOME TODAY.
AND FOR EACH LETTER, THINK OF
SOMETHING YOU COULD DESCRIBE,
A PERSON, PLACE, OR THING,
AND AN ADJECTIVE TO DESCRIBE IT
THAT START WITH THE SAME LETTER.
HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING. I
WOULD START AT THE START
OF THE ALPHABET. A, THAT'S THE
LETTER WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
I COULD DESCRIBE, AS YOU SAW
ME DO, MY APPLE.
APPLE STARTS WITH A, SO NOW I
NEED TO PAIR WITH AN ADJECTIVE
THAT ALSO STARTS WITH A.
I COULD SAY
"THIS IS MY AMAZING APPLE."
LETTER A WORDS.
FOR B, I WONDER IF I CAN THINK
OF SOMETHING TO DESCRIBE
AND AN ADJECTIVE THAT BOTH
START WITH B.
MAYBE I WOULD SAY
"MY BOUNCY BASKETBALL."
I'M GONNA MOVE ONTO C.
FOR C, I MIGHT DESCRIBE
MY "COOL CAT."
MAYBE FOR D, I WOULD THINK ABOUT
A "DAZZLING DIAMOND."
BUT I WANT YOU TO WORK, LEARNING
AT HOME TODAY,
TO COME UP WITH WORDS AND
ADJECTIVES
FOR EVERY SINGLE LETTER
OF THE ALPHABET.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GET ALL THE
WAY THROUGH!
NOW DON'T FORGET THOSE
STRATEGIES I TOLD YOU ABOUT
EARLIER IF YOU ARE STUCK.
IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEARCH FOR
ADJECTIVES
THAT YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR
VOCABULARY.
OR, LIKE I SAID, GRAB A BOOK!
FLIP THROUGH, YOU'RE GONNA COME
ACROSS TONS OF ADJECTIVES
AS YOU GO. I'M TELLING YOU,
ADJECTIVES ARE EVERYWHERE IN
BOOKS, SO IF YOU NEED IDEAS,
THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO LOOK.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH
THE ALPHABET
ADJECTIVE CHALLENGE.
HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE!
A clip plays.
(music plays)
A boy pops up wearing cowboy clothes. He has wavy black hair.
Dalmar says RANGER DALMAR.
Then, a girl pops out of a barrel wearing a cowboy hat. She has curly brown hair. She winks an eye.
Kara says RANGER KARA.
Now another boy pops out of a saloon wearing ranger clothes. He has short blond hair.
Drew says RANGER DREW.
A woman with glasses and a book appears.
Miss Bookworth says MISS BOOKWORTH!
Now a woman and two bandits sit inside a room.
Mayor McNab says THE MAYOR.
Pinky says PINKY.
Giggle says GIGGLES.
A man with long hair and a long beard scratches his head.
Wilson says WILSON.
Now a man dances crazily as he laughs.
A caption reads "And Cookie."
(hooting)
A sign in old Western style with a star on top, reads "The reading rangers."
The sign leaves a brand on a wooden wall.
The title of the episode reads "Adjectives."
Kara and Dalmar sit at a bar counter.
Kara says AHH. IT'S NICE TO BE BACK
IN DOCVILLE.
Dalmar says IT SURELY IS.
SO WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON? HOW'S
THE WEATHER BEEN?
Cookie says HO-HO! THE WEATHER'S BEEN,
UH, WEATHER.
THERE'S A SPECIAL TODAY.
Kara says REALLY? WHAT IS IT?
Cookie says BEANS!
(chuckling)
Kara says OOH! HOW ARE THEY DONE?
WELL, LIKE, UH, BEANS.
Kara says BUT WHAT KIND OF BEANS?
Cookie says OH-HO-HO! THE BEAN KIND.
Dalmar says REALLY? WHAT COLOUR?
Cookie says UH, BEAN COLOUR.
Kara says THERE'S NOTHING ELSE YOU
CAN TELL US?
Cookie says OH, THERE CERTAINLY IS. IT JUST
SEEMS THAT, UH,
SAYING IT'S A LITTLE, UH...
Kara says DIFFICULT?
Cookie says YEAH! HAH-HAH! THAT'S IT.
Dalmar says WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS
ALL ABOUT?
Kara says HM...
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM, COULD YOU
DESCRIBE MY HAT FOR ME?
A woman reading a book says SURE, IT'S, A HAT.
Dalmar says HOW BIG IS IT?
WHAT COLOUR IS IT?
The woman shrugs.
Dalmar says WELL THAT'S JUST WEIRD.
IT'S LIKE EVERYONE IN TOWN CAN'T
DESCRIBE ANYTHING.
Kara says WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT WORDS ARE
USED TO DESCRIBE
PEOPLE, PLACES, OR THINGS?
Dalmar says ADJECTIVES?
WHAT, ARE YOU SAYING EVERYONE IN
TOWN SOMEHOW
LOST THEIR ADJECTIVES?
Kara says NOT LOST. STOLEN!
Dalmar says WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?
Kara says I'VE GOT A HUNCH.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE,
RANGER DALMAR.
Cookie says WELL, HEY! WHAT ABOUT
YOUR BEANS?!
(knocking at door)
Kara and Dalmar walk into a living room.
The Mayor says YES?
OH, WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE SMART,
LAW-ABIDING,
UPSTANDING, HAPPY, CHEERFUL,
NOSEY,
CURIOUS, INTERFERING,
TROUBLESOME,
MEDDLESOME RANGERS!
Kara says WELL, MISS MAYOR, WE JUST
DROPPED BY
'CAUSE WE GOT BACK INTO TOWN AND
NOTICED PEOPLE TALKING ODDLY.
The Mayor says OH.
Dalmar says WE WERE WONDERING IF YOU
NOTICED THAT TOO.
The Mayor says NO, I HAVEN'T NOTICED
ANYTHING ODD.
STRANGE, PECULIAR, ATYPICAL,
FUNNY, FISHY, FREAKY, OR UNUSUAL
AROUND HERE.
Kara says OKAY, THEN. COULD YOU DESCRIBE
MY HAT FOR ME PLEASE?
The Mayor says WHY CERTAINLY. IT'S WHITE.
WIDE-BRIMMED, BANDED, BRANDED.
WELL-FITTED, WELL-SUITED,
WELL-CRAFTED, HANDSOME-- OKAY!
I DID IT! I STOLE ALL THE
ADJECTIVES.
She grabs a big bag that reads "Adjectives."
She continues I WANTED THEM ALL TO MYSELF!
AND I WOULD HAVE GOT AWAY
WITH IT TOO
BUT I CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE!
IT'S BEEN BAD, TERRIBLE,
GHASTLY, HORRIBLE,
CHALLENGING-- OH, JUST
TAKE THEM!
She tosses the bag to Dalmar.
Kara says WELL, NOW YOU KNOW, MISS MAYOR.
USING ADJECTIVES CAN BE A GOOD
THING TO DESCRIBE STUFF,
BUT SOMETIMES TOO MUCH
DESCRIPTION CAN BE BAD.
NOW LET'S GO.
Dalmar says EXCELLENT! PREMIUM. FIRST RATE.
MERITORIOUS. QUALITY. SUPREME.
ULTIMATE. GREAT. FANTASTIC...
Kara takes the bag away from him.
Dalmar continues IDEA! THANKS.
ADJECTIVES ARE STRONG STUFF!
The TVO Kids logo appears on the wooden wall.
The clip ends.
Joel says ALL RIGHT, STUDENTS! TODAY WE
TALKED ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
AND WE LEARNED A FEW WAYS WE
CAN USE THEM.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO KEEP LEARNING
ABOUT ADJECTIVES AT HOME,
DON'T FORGET I GAVE YOU A FEW
IDEAS OF LESSONS
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT AS THE DAY
AND AS THE WEEK GOES ON.
THE FIRST WAS COMING UP WITH AN
ACROSTIC POEM.
USING THE LETTERS IN YOUR NAME
TO THINK OF ADJECTIVES
FOR EVERY SINGLE LETTER.
NOW IF YOU HAD FUN WITH THIS,
DON'T FORGET, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
GOOD COPY AS A PIECE OF ART
YOU CAN HANG UP ON YOUR WALL.
AND DON'T STOP THERE! YOU COULD
EVEN MAKE AN ACROSTIC POEM
FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.
MAYBE YOU'LL WRITE EACH ONE IN
THEIR FAVOURITE COLOUR.
I WONDER HOW MANY ADJECTIVES YOU
CAN COME UP WITH.
ANOTHER THING WE DID TODAY WAS
WE PRACTICED SEEING
HOW SCIENTISTS USE ADJECTIVES.
AND YOU CAN KEEP DOING
THAT AT HOME.
MAYBE YOU'LL GO TO YOUR WINDOW
AND SEE WHAT ANIMALS YOU
NOTICE OUTSIDE.
YOU CAN ALSO USE ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE THE WEATHER
YOU SEE OUTSIDE.
NOW IF YOU'RE GOING ON A SAFE
WALK WITH YOUR FAMILY,
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE OBSERVATIONS
JUST LIKE A SCIENTIST
ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
COMING UP WITH ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBE THE THINGS YOU SEE,
HEAR, FEEL,
SMELL...
AND SOMETIMES,
BUT NOT ALWAYS, TASTE.
NOW I ALSO TAUGHT YOU A REALLY
FUN ADJECTIVE GUESSING GAME
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
OF AN ANIMAL,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND
WHAT IT IS, YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO
USE ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE
AND SEE IF THEY CAN GUESS IT.
SO IT WAS A REALLY FUN LESSON
TODAY TALKING ABOUT ADJECTIVES.
I HOPE YOU LEARNED SOME
NEW THINGS.
I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME GREAT
IDEAS OF LEARNING
YOU CAN CONTINUE DOING AT HOME.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I HOPE YOU HAD FUN.
I'M TEACHER JOEL,
AND IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN
LEARNING TOGETHER WITH YOU TODAY
ON
TVOKIDS POWER HOUR
OF LEARNING.
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN.
THANKS FOR TUNING IN.
BYE, EVERYBODY!
