Color by Code With Literary Terms

Choose one organizer per unit and use it with your own word list in any subject. Use the color by code page as a review before a literature test.

Color a grid by matching literary terms like stanza and verbal irony to their definitions. The directions on the page read: Read the literary term in each numbered cell. Find its definition in the code box. Color the whole cell with the color named above that definition. Each cell gets one color. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade academic vocabulary, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

Write the unit concept in the center and one word in each bubble. On every link, write a phrase such as causes or is a type of, with an arrow. Then write a short summary that uses at least four of the words.

Students rate each unit word from 1, new to me, to 4, can use it in writing, before and after the unit. Vocabulary Inventory With Proof Columns asks them to prove the new rating with a definition or sentence.

Terms include conflict, stanza, characterization and verbal irony, matched to definitions such as a group of lines in a poem. Each definition sits under a color in the code box.
