Unfamiliar Words #6

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a vocabulary-building tool designed to help students deduce the meanings of unfamiliar words through contextual reading and visual interpretation. It features a picture and a few sentences, each containing a bolded word such as “jubilant,” “companions,” and “magnificent.” Students are expected to study the picture, read the sentences, and use the context to infer what each bolded word means. There is space provided for them to write down their definitions, encouraging them to actively engage with the content.

The worksheet is meant to enhance students’ vocabulary by teaching them to use visual and textual clues to understand new words. It encourages critical thinking and comprehension skills by prompting students to connect the emotions and actions depicted in the image with the context of the sentences. The activity is designed to foster independent learning, allowing students to practice inferring word meanings and to build confidence in their ability to tackle unfamiliar terms. By completing the worksheet, students not only learn new words but also develop strategies for understanding new vocabulary in future reading.
