Each student is responsible for a word(s). They will write
the word at the top of their journal page. The work is to
pick the word apart and get to know it well.
Questions to guide this work:
How many vowels? Consonants? Syllables?
What sound(s) does this word make?
What other words do you see in this word?
Move letters around. What if you
added/removed letters? Is it a
noun? Verb? Try a dictionary for more
information!
