This resource should accompany Kwame Alexander's novel The Door of No Return. This resource covers vocabulary words from each chapter of the book. This is what you will receive in this Google Drive folder:

- A list of vocabulary words from each chapter. 10 words in chapters 1-5 & 7, 14 words in chapter 6 (there were just so many good ones)

- A worksheet for each list which asks students to identify the line or sentence in which they see the word. Then they need to guess at the definition using context clues. There is also a place for the dictionary definition so they can check how they did with the context clues.

- A self-grading Google Forms test for each vocabulary list. The students must choose the correct word to match the definition from a dropdown list. Then they must type the correct vocabulary word to fill in sentence blanks.

- An Easel test for each vocabulary list. These tests are identical to the Google Forms tests mentioned above. However, Easel does not have a fill-in-the-blank option. Students will choose the correct word from the list to fill in the blank. All questions are single select.

- A link to my Quizlet folder for this novel. It contains individual vocabulary sets for each chapter.

- A sheet that looks similar to a Frayer model. It is blank and can be used with any vocabulary word. Students can use this to identify the definition, part of speech, synonyms, and antonyms. They will also write a sentence using the word and draw a picture for the word. These sheets come in color and black & white.

- Two PDF files that contain 135 vocabulary words from the entire novel. One word can be assigned to each student, and they can share what they learn about the word.

- A few other activities that can be used with any vocabulary word. An acrostic poem sheet, a word web sheet, a doodle notes sheet.

Need an activity to challenge your gifted students? Do you struggle to find engaging activities to motivate your students? Then download this Gifted and Talented Activity The Spelling and Vocabulary Game! Well suited for the ELA or gifted classroom, this game will get your students brainstorming all the words they know AND learning new words....all while having FUN! Fully online/digital (but writing scorecards can also be used in class) and no prep!

Each slide contains a common letter combination, which students will use to brainstorm words that contain the combination.

• The letter pairs, triplets, and diphthongs used are those most frequently found in the English language!
• This game can be played repeatedly as students learn more and more vocabulary. 

✔ This resource contains:

• The digital (Google Apps) game with 57 different letter pairs, triplets, and diphthongs.

CONTEXT CLUES is an important skill that students must master in order to improve and enhance their comprehension of texts. When coming across an unknown word, a student can use other words in the text that are usually in the same sentence or nearby sentences that provide clues to the meaning of the unfamiliar word. This skill is especially important for students to apply not only on state exams, but to any text or reading they come across.

This Context Clues Bundle provides a variety of fun opportunities for students to learn how to use context clues to determine the meanings of unknown words as they read.

The bundle includes an in-depth step-by-step lesson plan that carefully guides teachers in showing students “HOW TO” both identify and use different context clues types to figure out the meaning of unknown words. The bundle also includes Reading Passages, PowerPoints, Practice Worksheets, Fun Activities, Task Cards, Assessments, Posters, ANSWER KEYS, and more!

This resource focuses on the following five Context Clues types:

✨ Definition clues

✨ Synonym clues

✨ Antonym clues

✨ Example clues

✨ Inference clues

All PowerPoints, Worksheets, and Posters are visually appealing as they include a variety of fun and realistic graphics, borders, and background paper. Students will be attentive and engaged throughout the entire learning experience!

The PowerPoints cannot be edited due to copyright requirements made by contributing font and clip art artists.

► A BLANK Word Analysis Worksheet is also included in case you want students to analyze other words.

✅ Create Your Own Story Worksheet

Students will have an opportunity to show their creativity by creating their own story or passage using as many of the vocabulary words as they can. Challenge them to include context clues, so readers can use them to determine the meanings of the words.

❤️ Students may really enjoy reading aloud their stories/passages to their partners, teachers, or class!
