Two Pictures, One Word

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students understand the concept of homonyms, which are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings. It presents a list of words on the left and related images on the right that illustrate the different meanings of these words. Students are instructed to draw lines connecting each word to the corresponding images that represent their varied meanings. For example, the word “pitcher” can refer to both a baseball player who pitches the ball and a container for holding and pouring liquids.

The worksheet aims to enhance students’ vocabulary comprehension by highlighting the diversity of the English language. It encourages critical thinking as students must discern which image corresponds to each definition of the word. This activity also aids in developing their cognitive flexibility, as they learn to recognize that a single word can have multiple meanings depending on the context. By completing this exercise, students will be better prepared to understand and use homonyms in both written and spoken language.
