Miss Hanson has given the students a vocabulary science project. Some of the work has been done in class. The rest of the work needs to be completed at home. She passed out the directions to students yesterday. Here they are:

Vivid Vocabulary Requirements

I was given this word in class: ___________________
· I am to do the following by Friday, Feb. 2nd:
Write the word large at the top of the paper (at least 2 inches). Use a dictionary to write the definition under the word.
Color the word so it stands out (block letters work well).
Draw a picture showing a scene of what the word means (3-D pictures will get you more points – use scrap booking supplies, cotton balls, Popsicle sticks, construction paper, Cheerios, etc. to make it stand out)
Write a sentence using your vocabulary word ( On the bottom).
Practice saying your word, definition and sentence because you will need to make an oral presentation to the class.
You will have some class time on Thursday to work on it.
Bring your word in on Friday morning, ready to present it to the class.

**It is important to be neat, careful and try to be creative as you work on this project. It is always a good idea to discuss this with your family and you can get some help from them on this one. I encourage family participation for this project. The main idea is to build your vocabulary so you will learn new and interesting words.

How you will be scored:
v Definition (5 pts.)
v Sentence (5 pts.)
v Use of 3D (5 pts.)
v Creativity (5 pts.)
v Neatness (5 pts.)
v Total – 25 points

A lot of papers are coming home today including Thursday Thoughts. Please read, there is a lot of important information.
