Word of the Day Assignment criteria

Word of the Day



We will start each class with the Aword of the day@. I will provide the words & definitions for the first week. I will then assign each student the responsibility of presenting their own word on a specific day. All students are responsible for learning the correct spelling and meaning of the words; short quizzes will be given periodically to test your knowledge.

To complete this assignment you will need to:

 Find an interesting word that is new to you (it can be a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb).

 Copy the word, its definition, and a sentence correctly using the word, into your notebook (be sure to include any specifics about the word that may be interesting, ie: its origin, what part of speech it is, etc. ).

 Provide me with a copy of the word, definition, and sentence.


 Present your word, definition, sentence, and creative representation to the class.

**For bonus marks:

 Create a dance, skit, song, video, drawing, gadget, piece of art, recipe, sculpture, poem, or any other creative representation to accompany your word. Your representation must be significant to your chosen word, and should show both thought and creativity.
