"The Gift of the Magi" Language Study

By Colleen Burdette

Build understanding of unusual words and phrases:

When reading "The Gift of the Magi" my students came across several words and phrases that were unknown to them. Some of the words or phrases are out of date, some are not part of the students' life experience. This activity helps the students to build an understanding of the unknown words. This understanding helps to build comprehension of the story. Building vocabulary leads to stronger readers.

Students enjoy searching for images to help with understanding. They can search the images through Google or directly through the Google Slide.


What's included:

  • Instructional slide.
  • Activity slides.

How is this resource useful:

  • No prep for teachers.
  • Builds understanding for students.
  • Greater vocabulary leads to better reading comprehension.
