7. “The Raven” Vocabulary Notecard Instructions
On the lined side of the card:
Locate the vocabulary word in the poem and write the sentence.
Mark the context clues (words/phrases that help you understand the word’s meaning) in each sentence.
Underline any prefix/suffix (use the handouts) to help you further determine the meaning.
Using Merriam-Webster.com, locate and write the part of speech and the correct definition (based on the word’s usage in the sentence),
Then write your own sentence using a different context (situation), but the same usage of the word.
On the plain/front side of a notecard:
Write the word (dividing it by syllables).
Select a color which you associate (positive, neutral, or negative connotation) with the denotation (dictionary definition) of the word; employ that color on the front of the card (in writing the word, in decorating the card, or in whatever way you wish)—be creative.
Draw or locate and paste a picture which helps you remember the meaning of the word on the front of the card.

Poverty: (noun) the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor.
My sentence: Many homeless men and women have a mental illness and would rather live on the streets in poverty than in a mental health facility or halfway house.
