What Do You Think?

Worksheet Description

The Word Study worksheet displayed is a learning activity focused on exploring and contrasting students’ perceptions of word meanings with their actual definitions. Each section of the worksheet allows for a word to be written down, followed by two prompts: one for the student to write what they think the word means and another to record its actual meaning. This dual-column setup encourages students to reflect on their initial understanding of a word and then compare it with the correct definition. The worksheet has multiple sections for this activity, allowing for repeated practice with different words.

This worksheet is designed to teach students about the importance of understanding and verifying word meanings. It challenges them to assess their current vocabulary knowledge and confront any misconceptions they may have. The activity also helps in developing research skills as students may have to look up the correct meanings of words. Through this comparison, the exercise promotes learning from one’s own errors and solidifies the accurate meanings of words in the student’s memory.
