Words for Words
Name____________________________
Step 1: Place one of the words from a word bank, in each of the squares below. You may use each word only once and you must fill in each box. Order does not matter.
Column A | Column B | Column C | |
Row 1 | |||
Row 2 | |||
Row 3 |
Objective: Create 9 accurate sentences with 3 vocabulary words
Step 2: Write a sentence using all 3 words in each row. You do not have to use the words in order of the table. You will have a set amount of time to complete the 3 sentences. You will share 1 sentence with me as I walk around the room.
Row 1: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Row 2: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Row 3: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 3: For the column (A, B, C) words, you will pair up with a different teammate for each sentence. Work as a pair, to create an accurate sentence. Each time you hear, the bell, switch partners.
Column 1: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Column 2: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Column 3: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 4: We will go over the possible sentences as a class, and judge (without grading) how well our class understands the vocabulary words.
Reflection: What word(s) did you or the class struggle with the most? Why?

Step 5: You have the option to the do the following for your assessment. Show me what you know. Option 1: you can create 2 sentences from the diagonal words AND a sentence using the 4-corner words. Option 2: Use all 9 words in a 6-8 sentence paragraph (no sentence from before can be used) and you have to create a story.
Variation: Make the grid smaller, add the words yourself, model a sentence
