Directions: Below are the directions for the Vocabulary Choice Board project that you will complete for a Major Assessment grade (30%). The words that will be used for the project should be a combination of weeks 1, 2, & 3 words; DO NOT use only words from one particular week. You must choose one activity to complete by Monday, 2/9/15. Choose wisely because it must be completed in its entirety. No Exceptions! The only resource you CANNOT use is a classmate. You can choose to complete at least one additional square for extra credit. The extra option must be neat, creative, and must also be completed in its entirety by Monday, 2/9/15.

Write a short narrative story using at least 10 of your vocabulary words CORRECTLY. Underline your words in the story. Your story should be at least 1 page long. Your story should have a full beginning, middle, and end.

Create a poem, song or rap using at least 10 of your words. (It has to make sense and reflect your best effort.)

Create Frayer Models for 10 of your vocabulary words. Write the word and the part of speech

1) Define the word 2) Find two synonyms 3) Find two antonyms 4) Create a compound-complex

sentence using the word CORRECTLY. **On the back illustrate the word neatly and use color. (You will have to search the internet for examples of Frayer Models.) Draw a picture for all of your words. The pictures must illustrate the definition of the word (WITHOUT USING WORDS). Your illustrations MUST be neat and colored. You may also find pictures from the internet or a magazine. Create a vocabulary game using at least 10 of your words. The directions must be clear and all game pieces or materials must be included. You cannot make a flashcard, crossword, or word find game. It must be creative and original. It does not have to be computerized, but that would be nice.
