Learning ABOUT the Word... Not just its definition!

Objective 1:

Students use a dictionary or online resource to help write sentences about three words that have been presented. 

Objective 2:  

Each of the three word relates to a yet unknown “core” word.  Students complete a dot-to-dot picture that reveals an image of the "core" word.

Objective 3:  

Finally, having identified the "core" word, students are asked to do research about the "core word".  The answers to are easily found in an encyclopedia or online resource.

Objective 4:

In addition to building vocabulary, the dot-to-dot activities give students practice counting - by odd numbers, by 2’s, starting with 35, and so on.
