Making Connections between Vocabulary & Graphics
Study the graphics below & pick a vocabulary word off the list for this story that would make sense with it.
There are a number of possibilities for each picture. Below the graphic, write a sentence using the vocab
word. Show the meaning of the word within the sentence without stating the definition. Underline the word.
When writing the sentence, do not refer to the picture by writing “this man, this bear, this bird,” and the
like. The sentence must connect to the picture, but not directly refer to it. The sentence should be able to
stand alone w/out the picture. Use correct grammar, spelling, & punctuation. The form of the word may be
changed. Do not repeat the word with another picture. (6 words X 7 = 42)
