Spring Break Vivid Vocabulary
Requirements

Pick one word
from the book that you are reading. This word must be interesting. It must be a
word that you think would be “new” to your peers.
·
You are to do the
following by Tuesday, April 3rd (use card stock provided):
o
Write the word
large at the top of the paper (at least
2 inches). Use a dictionary first to
write the definition under the word
(if you can’t find the word in the dictionary, you can use the Internet).
o
Color the word
so it stands out (block letters work well).
o
Draw a picture
showing a scene of what the word means (3-D
pictures will get you more points-use scrap booking supplies, cotton balls,
popsicle sticks, construction paper, Cheerios, etc to make it stand out)

o
Practice saying
your word, definition and sentence because you will need to make an oral

**It is important to be neat,
careful and try to be creative as you work on this project. It is always a good idea to discuss this with
your family and you can get some help from them on this one. I encourage family participation for this
project. The main idea is to build your
vocabulary so you will learn new and interesting words.
