WORD WIZARD

The job of the word wizard is to look at words that are found in the sections of the book that are difficult or aren’t understood by most.

The main task is to look at the three words chosen by the word wizard in each book section and complete 6 steps:

MWrite the word and page/paragraph where it was found in the section.

MList the sentence where the word was found.

MWrite a short, student friendly definition of the word using a dictionary.

MTell why the word adds meaning to the story

MNext, you are to make a two sided word wizard card with the name of the word on the front and the page and paragraph where you found it. On the other side you are to write the word, the short definition, and a drawing of what the word means to you. (Example in Section 1) You will use an index card to do this
