A New Word

Word Walls #15

Worksheet Description

The Word Wall worksheet is a structured template designed for students to engage with new or review vocabulary. The student is prompted to write a word in a cloud-shaped box and then describe its meaning below. Checkboxes are provided for the student to classify the word as a noun, verb, or adjective, and to indicate whether it is a new or review word. Additionally, there are sections for the student to compare and contrast by describing what the word is like and what it is not like, along with a space to draw a picture of the word, thus catering to different learning styles.

This worksheet is teaching students to not only learn and review vocabulary but also to critically analyze and categorize words. By writing the definition, students clarify their understanding of the word. The classification sections reinforce knowledge of parts of speech, which is fundamental to grammar. The comparative prompts and drawing space encourage creative thinking and help students make deeper connections with the word, fostering both analytical and visual learning skills.
