  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Using context clues, synonyms, antonyms, dictionaries, and original sentences, middle schoolers work through a new list of vocabulary words. A SMART board file guides them through the process of learning and reinforcing the words. After they finish, pupils can then create a poster of one vocabulary word from the list. The amount of work in the activity can be modified if you want to use it as a weekly assignment.
