2. Copy the sentence from the section in which the word appears.

 

 

3. Re-read the sentence that the word is in and think about the word, the sentence, and the story.  Write down what part of speech you think the word is verb.  Now write down what you think the word means to walk in a funny way. 

 

 

4. Look up the word in the dictionary.  Using the dictionary definition and what you already know about the word, write your definition of the word to walk proudly with confidence. 

 

 

5. Write down an explanation telling how this word adds meaning to the story.  Think about the characters, setting, plot, theme and other aspects of what makes up a story.  The word adds meaning because it gives you a picture of exactly how Royce walks onto the bus and it is almost foreshadowing because of his confidence.  You know that he is going to be involved in something. 

 

 

6. Make your word wizard card.  Be sure to write your word in LARGE PRINT and the page and paragraph number.  On the other side of the same card draw a picture to represent your word and also write the definition of the word.
