Students took a different kind of vocab test this week. They were given the challenge to put together a puzzle then write a story to go along with the puzzle using their vocabulary words correctly. This was especially challenging since they were working with Homographs this week.
Here is a great example of a student's work:
Forever Friends
I love my puppy Coco. He is my best friend. My mom got him for me as a birthday present. It was in 2008. I was an invalid and my mom refused to let me go to school. Worst of all, it was my birthday.
I hated being sick. The objects around my room swirled around like a tornado. Everything got more blurry with every minute. My mom walked in to check my temperature.My mom has done that so many times today that I have a feeling the thermometer will be invalid. She objected when I asked her to quit.
"Honey, I got you something," she said. Then she presented me with a little minute puppy. He was so cute! He made my spirits soar and made me well enough to take out the refuse! I was even present at school the next day. I named the puppy CoCo and I still love him to death. He is and always will be my best friend.

I thought that it was fun to try and create stories based on a puzzle and our vocabulary words. It was cool to do something we had never done before and be creative.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that vocab "quiz", it was fun to put the puzzle together and then write a creative story about it :)
