Salt to the Sea Vocabulary Study Guide
A self-paced vocabulary study guide for Part 2 of Salt to the Sea, pairing each glossary word with its pronunciation, a fill-in-the-blank definition, and an example drawn from the novel, plus a matching slideshow. Students build reading comprehension and word-in-context skills, and the fill-in blanks let them check their understanding on their own as they work through the story.
“can you look at the following assessment and make a study guide with a coordinating slideshow so that students can independently complete it? students are in 9th grade with a 5th grade reading level”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Assign this as an independent pre-reading or during-reading warm-up before students tackle Part 2, or as a 30-40 minute station while others work in small groups.
- Discussion question: How does the author's use of 'aristocracy' or 'ideologies' help you understand the political tension in the story?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them read each 'From the Text' sentence aloud before filling in the blank, and pair them with a peer for the first two or three words.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write one original sentence using a glossary word in a context outside the novel, and explain how the meaning still fits.
- Estimated time: About 30 minutes to complete the guide, plus 10 minutes to review the slideshow and check answers.
