Vocabulary Builder Fill in the Blanks worksheets Level 3

By Peter D

Note to Teachers

This set of worksheets consists of 111 pages of Fill in the Blanks exercises. Each page has at least ten words or phrases for students to fill in the blanks in the given sentences.

Learning new vocabulary is an important part of language development. Instead of simply memorizing vocabulary lists, it is beneficial to learn new vocabulary words in some kind of meaningful context.

Fill in the Blanks exercises are effective at helping students develop their language skills in numerous ways. Each vocabulary word must be placed in the blank based on meaning of the sentence. This task challenges students to first understand the meaning of the sentence and then select the appropriate word. It is an effective task for developing cognitive skills as well as general language skills.

The vocabulary words in these exercise pages were selected from various stories that we have studied. These words are found quite commonly in written texts so it is useful for students to acquire these vocabulary words.

If students are unfamiliar with some of these words, then students are encouraged to use a dictionary or work together in small groups.

I have found that students enjoy these types of activities and that students can develop various useful skills related to language development.

Levels: There are four sets of vocabulary builder worksheets divided into four levels. The approximate range of grades for each level is listed below.

Vocabulary Worksheets:

Vocabulary Builder Level 1: Grades 1-4

Vocabulary Builder Level 2: Grades 3-6

Vocabulary Builder Level 3: Grades 5-8

Vocabulary Builder Level 4: Grades 7-10 (under construction)

Four Corners | Figurative Language Game | No Prep | ELA | Writing | Poetry

By Perfectly Planned Designs

This Four Corners Game is a fun, no-prep activity you can use to review Figurative Language that your students will LOVE! They will love moving around the room as you click through the 40 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to test their knowledge, get exposure to high-quality examples, and even learn something new! This is an activity I use in my classroom every year during our narrative writing unit and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

  • 40 Examples of Figurative Language

  • 4 Printable Classroom Signs

  • Definition of Terms

  • Answer Key

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE

After reading each figurative language example on the board, move to the side of the room labeled “Metaphor,” “Simile,” “Hyperbole,” or “Personification.” Be prepared to defend your choices. You may disagree with your classmates’ opinions but do so respectfully. (I typically go over each example with students and discuss the impact of the words or phrases to uncover the deeper meaning. Ask questions such as, "what is being compared?" or "what can the reader visualize?")

*As an optional follow-up activity, use my No-Prep Figurative Language Short Passage Set resource to assess individual understanding, homework, or assessment!

REFLECTION:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!
