This is a fun review activity to support connotation and denotation in the classroom. I use this while formally teaching connotation and denotation, but also use it sporadically throughout the school year as a fun way to review! 

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Andrew Sytsma teach about using the context of a word to understand what is happening in a narrative poem.

After reading "The Treasure of Lemon Brown," students will complete the vocabulary activity using terms from the story. Student are asked to definte the word and part of speech, identify synonyms and antonyms, write a sentence with the word using context clues, identify other forms of the word, and identify any prefixes/suffixes. Students may work independently or in pairs to complete the assignment. While the attached document is specific to "The Treasure of Lemon Brown," the assignmet format may be used for vocabulary words from any text selection.
