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
