English III

Learning Target: I can acquire new vocabulary from a text, and put it to new use.

Directions: As you read The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, you are responsible for finding new vocabulary words and completing the following organizer with your new word. Full credit will only be given if you provide at least 6 words per act. You may refer to the vocabulary handout for your definitions.

For each word:

  • YOUR WORD: Decide on a word from your personal vocabulary that best fits the meaning of the new vocabulary word
  • VOCABULARY WORD: Spell Correctly-write PC for Positive Connotation or NC for Negative Connotation – no repeats!
  • PART OF SPEECH: Noun , Verb (ACTION or STATE of BEING), Adjective (DESCRIBES a NOUN), Adverb (MODIFIES a VERB)
  • SYNONYM: Another word that has a SIMILAR meaning as the Vocabulary word – see if you can choose one from the list
  • ANTONYM: A word that means the OPPOSITE of the vocabulary word
  • CLUE: include an example or an illustration that will help you remember this word.
  • ORIGINAL SENTENCE: Write a beautiful sentence using the vocabulary word; make sure you use it as the correct part of speech.

DUE at the end of EACH Act.
