A Different Meaning

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of images, each depicting a word with multiple meanings. The task for the students is to first say the name of the object shown in each picture, and then to write a sentence that uses the same word in a different meaning. The images serve as prompts for one meaning of each word, and the students must use their knowledge or a dictionary to find and apply another meaning of these words in their sentences. The worksheet provides blank lines corresponding to each image where students can write their sentences.

The objective of this worksheet is to develop students’ understanding of polysemy, the concept that a single word can have several related meanings. It aims to strengthen vocabulary skills by encouraging students to think about the different meanings a single word can have and to apply this knowledge in a written context. This activity also promotes the use of reference materials like dictionaries, fostering research skills and independence in learning. By completing this exercise, students gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of language and improve their ability to discern word meanings based on context.
