Vocabulary Homework Choice Board
English 8--Updated for 2013-2014
Whenever you see “Vocab Choice #1” or “Vocab Choice #2” on the homework board,
you may choose from the menu below. You may choose each item only one time
each week.
You MUST always write the vocab list # and choice # on the header of your
homework, if you want to receive credit.
Use any resource at home
to find other words that
have the same prefix,
suffix or root word as the
vocabulary words.
Draw and color pictures
that represent the
meaning of each of the
vocabulary words. Make
sure the actual word and
definition accompanies
the pictures.
Use each vocab word in a
sentence that you have
not already used. Be sure
that your sentences prove
you know the word’s
meaning (use legitimate
context clues).
Cut pictures or words from
old magazines or
newspapers that
represent the meaning of
the vocab words.
Write the vocab words and
definitions on flash cards.
Tell a parent/guardian the
definitions of the vocab
words and have them
write a note stating that
you told them. Notes
must contain a header and
be signed by a parent.
Write the words and
definitions artistically.
Write the words and
definitions of the vocab
words in your best cursive.
Create a short story using
all the vocab words.
Please note that student exemplars (best student examples from the past) have
been provided to you. Use these as a reference, if you need to. We have the highest
of expectations when it comes to the effort and content you put forth on these
homework assignments.
