How would you match the following words to their meaning? Using a set of prefixes, suffixes, and root words students will create new “nonsense” words. Students will select one of their new words and develop a short paragraph that provides context clues to help a reader understand what the new word means. Select words from the word wall and a create graphic organizers that demonstrates synonyms and word phrases that could be used to describe the words. In pairs create a madlib (ridiculous story created when you fill in the blanks with word or word phrases) leaving strategic blanks where the original vocabulary word would be used or placed. Students will exchange their madlib with another pair of students who will fill in the blanks using synonyms from their brainstorming. Students will discuss how the context of their stories changed and will write a short paragraph comparing/contrasting how the stories changed. From a select group of words students will brainstorm possible uses of the words. They will create a radio, online, magazine, newspaper or television advertisement to sell one of the words to the class. Using a rubric students will evaluate each other on whether the context of their ad supports the use of word and whether the format selected supports the appropriate use of that word.
