Caesar’s English

Vocabulary Choice Board Descriptions

1. Super Powers - Divide your page into 5 sections. Use the 5 words from
the lesson and develop 5 different super heroes or super villains around
each word’s characteristic. Make sure that you write the word and its
meaning beside your superhero. Ideas to include are: a special name, a
costume, transportation, power, and personality. If you want your super
hero or super villain to have a sidekick, choose a sidekick from the words in
other lessons.

2. Headlines – Write a least three “headlines” for pretend breaking news

stories. Use as many of the lesson’s vocabulary words as possible. Your
headlines must make sense! They can be funny, sad, serious, etc. but they
must be short phrases – no sentences. You may combine two or three words
into one headline but it should still make sense. MAKE SURE YOU
CAPITALIZE THE HEADLINE!!

3. Illustrations - Illustrate the meaning of the lesson’s 5 words by drawing

original artwork or by gluing in appropriate images you find. Divide your
page into 5 parts for 5 separate illustrations or create a collage,
landscape, or scene including all 5 words. Frame it if you wish. Write each
word and its meaning by the appropriate illustrations.

4. Synthesis Story - Write a cohesive story, journal, diary entry or news

article that includes as many of your vocabulary words as possible.
Underline or circle each word used. You may use them more than once if
needed and you may use them in different tenses. You may also include
words from previous lessons.

vocabulary words. Connect all of them by finding one matching letter that
two words share. Use as many words as you can. Fill up your page. You
may use the words more than once but do not write them backwards.

6. Cards – Divide your page into five rectangles resembling playing cards.
Write your five words in the middle of each “card”. Write each vocabulary
word’s definition under it. In the middle of each card, draw a small picture or
symbol to represent each word. In the 4 corners of each “card”, write T, S, V,

consonants

7. Comics – Create a comic panel or strip using as many of your vocabulary

words as you can. Cover your page and keep content appropriate.

were under a microscope. Write them on your page and add any
information you can find about them: word origin (entomology), part of
speech, number of vowels, consonants, and syllables, pronunciation,
synonyms/antonyms, definitions, base/root word, alternate spellings, etc.

9. Synonyms/Antonyms - Divide you page into 5 sections and write one of

your 5 words in each section. Use a thesaurus to find as many
synonyms/antonyms for each vocabulary word. Not every word will have an
antonym.

long poem or in several short poems. Any form of poetry is acceptable. See
