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.
