By Shannon M.

Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 15 to 20 minute warm-up or end-of-lesson review after students have read a text containing these words, or as a quick check before a vocabulary quiz.
- Discussion question: which of these words could describe a person, and which could describe a place or object? Why?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pair them with a partner and let them read the word bank aloud before starting, or allow them to use a dictionary or word list to confirm each answer.
- Extension for advanced students: have them write one original sentence for each word that shows its meaning through context, not just the definition.
- Estimated time: about 15 to 20 minutes, including a brief answer check at the end.
