Students combine text, images, voice narration, and video to help them better learn and remember new vocabulary.
Define "antonym" as the term we use to describe a word with a meaning opposite of another word, such as hot and cold, or low and high.
Read Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book, which pairs opposites and rhyme to give students fun examples of antonyms. Brian P. Cleary also has some great books, such as Stop and Go, Yes and No, that also play with opposites.
Work as a class to create an anchor chart of opposites, or antonym pairs, they already know. You may get them started by sharing words like new, above, or big and see if they can think of an antonym for these words.
Assign the Antonym Pairs to have students illustrate a pair of opposites to help others learn, spell, and remember new vocabulary words.
Have students type each antonym into the boxes on the page.
Then, have them use the paint tools to create an illustration for each word.
Have students use the Record tool (microphone) to correctly pronounce the antonyms or even use them in a sentence.
Print the projects at full-page size to hang around your classroom. You can also make flash cards by printing at trading cards or postcard size.
Use the Project Wizard to collect all student work into one file. Then run as a slide show to review as a class or show off at an assembly!
