Word Masters Vocabulary Activity - Grades 4 and 5

Write or type a story that uses all 25 Word Master words in context.  This means you have to show that you understand what the word means in your sentence.

BAD examples:
•    That’s a hull.
•    “Hull” is a word that starts with H.
•    I like the hull.
•    She saw a hull.
•    He looks like a hull.

None of these examples show that you know what a hull is.

GOOD example:
•    The hull of the ship carried 20 people.

I can tell that the hull is part of the ship from this sentence.

Your story can be about whatever you’d like it to be.  The challenge is to figure out a way to get all 25 words into your story.

Be sure to UNDERLINE the 25 Word Master words in your story.

Due dates:
•    Friday, December 4th for grade 4
•    Thursday, November 19th for grade 5

How you’ll be graded:
•    25 points for the words (1 point per word used correctly)
•    15 points for the story (plot, grammar, punctuation, spelling)
