Vocabulary Word Study
Decide on Word categories
• Look at the list assigned to your group
• Are there commonalities to the words?
• Are some geographical, nautical, descriptive,
nouns, adjectives?
• As a group, decide on categories and who will
be responsible for each word
• Write the name of the person assigned next to
each word
Creating Slide Show
• As a group, decide on the format for the slide
presentation
• You need to use the same background, font, and
format
• Each person is responsible for their category o of
words
• Some students in your group may have a few
more words than others based on the
categories—be as fair as possible—you may need
to rethink categories if the numbers are really
different
Slide Contents
Each person should have a title page that says
Storm Warriors Vocabulary at the top
Each title page should also include the name of
the category of words
Vocabulary Slides
• Each slide should have the vocabulary word

This could be a picture, a cartoon, a sentence
using the word correctly.
Online dictionary sources:
• You may use the same online dictionary for all
words and cite the source one time.
• Recommended:
– Onelook.com (this will give you a variety of
choices of dictionaries to use for the word)
– http://www.merriam-webster.com/
– http://dictionary.reference.com/
– http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictiona
ry/dictionaryhome.aspx
Citations
• The last slide should be a list of citations
• Remember that Google is a search engine—
find the URL for the actual picture.
• Example of a citation for an image (using the
picture of the book on my title slide):
“Storm Warriors book jacket.”
