Picture Clues

Unfamiliar Words #2

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is an educational tool that aims to help students learn new vocabulary through context and visualization. It presents a series of sentences, each featuring a bolded, unfamiliar word such as “berserk,” “belligerent,” “predator,” “ludicrous,” and “tranquil,” accompanied by an illustrative image that reflects the word’s meaning. Students are tasked with reading each sentence and examining the picture to infer the meaning of the bolded word. After considering the context and visual clues, they are expected to write their interpretation of the word’s definition in the space provided.

This worksheet is designed to teach students how to use context clues and pictorial evidence to determine the meanings of words they may not initially recognize. It encourages the development of critical reading skills by challenging students to analyze how words are used in sentences and to connect this usage with visual representations. Through this exercise, students are expected to expand their vocabulary and enhance their ability to comprehend and interpret textual information. The worksheet also fosters independent learning, as students practice figuring out word meanings without immediate access to a dictionary.
