This handout, which can be completed as a solo or team activity/race/game, requires students to match up a series of well-known proverbs and sayings with their overwritten versions. Once students have completed the handou

Word Profile Graphic Organizer Freebie / Updated Frayer Model
This year I'm adding weekly Word Profiles to my vocabulary instruction. But I couldn't find one that fit my exact needs, so I just designed my own.

Students define the word, draw or visualize the word, determine its synonyms and antonyms, determine part of speech and word forms, and then students apply their knowledge by writing an original sentence using the word. This is a flexible tool that could be
