Word Challenge

The goal of this lesson is to encourage students to reflect on how they use words differently than others. Although we speak the same language to others in conversation, we don’t all use and know the same words. This lesson challenges students to explore their vocabulary, giving them the tools to consider where their words come from and why their word choice is unique.

Attached are two resources: The Word Challenge doc offers teachers a full lesson plan while the Word Challenge PowerPoint offers individual students the opportunity to complete this lesson on their own.
