Color a grid by matching academic words to their definitions in a four color code box. The directions on the page read: Read the word 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.
Can I use this academic vocabulary practice worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th 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.
What kinds of activities are included?
⌄
Students log words, sketch meanings, build acrostics, map related words, write a word biography and make front and back note cards. One sheet is a color by code definition match.
Which words can students use?
⌄
Several sheets suggest words such as inevitable, resilient, persevere and consequence, and students can also use their own lists.
Which sheet has an answer key?
⌄
Only Academic Word Definitions Color by Code has an answer key. The other 9 are organizers where students write their own answers.
