Vocabulary
Learning Activity 1
Three handouts
Learners develop a word map for each word. Learners write down their own definition of the word and then look up the word in the dictionary. They write down the dictionary meaning and a synonym and antonym for the word. They use the word map handout as their guide.
Learners write a sentence for each word. The sentence should provide the reader information on what the word means.
Learners find the words from the text in the word search on the handout. Ask learners to make up their own word search using the website: http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/WordSearchSetupForm.html. Ask learners to share their word searches with others in the class.
