Word Study – Lesson 17
Day 1
Meet the Words
This week, all of the words express degrees of sadness or negative feelings. On a
separate sheet of paper, copy each word and next to each word see if you can give an
example of characters in books or movies/TV who have demonstrated these emotions.
Day 2
Clustering
On a separate sheet of paper, group the words according to the following questions:
1. Which emotion(s) would you associate with losing a job?
2. Which emotion(s) would you associate with tripping as you enter the classroom?
3. Which emotion(s) would you associate with losing your best friend?
4. Which emotion(s) would you associate with being the last to be chosen for a team?
5. Which emotion(s) would you associate with forgetting your lines on the stage?
Day 3
Word Builder
Use the letters at the bottom of this week’s word list to spell out new words on a
separate sheet of paper. Words must be at least 3 letters and no proper nouns are
allowed. See if you can find the 10-letter word that fits the clue: This can refer to an
indentation.
Day 4
Word Action
You will be assigned a group and one of this week’s words. You will plan a short skit or
write a short skit to demonstrate the word. Do not use the word in your skit. If you
choose not to perform the skit in front of the class, you must have the written skit in your
word study packet in order to receive credit for it.
