Description
Give your 4th and 5th graders a festive way to think about how words are linked. In this Thanksgiving set of 45 self-checking digital task cards, students complete, build and explain analogies with turkeys, pumpkins, cranberries and the big feast. Skills practised: - reading analogies written in words (is to, as) and with colons (: and ::) - finding the link between two words before completing the second pair - telling synonyms from antonyms - recognizing part to whole, type of, tool to use, young to adult and worker to tool links - using word relationships to understand vocabulary (L.5.5.C) What is in the deck: Two read-aloud instruction pages explain what an analogy is and how to find the link. Then come 45 task cards: 9 Complete the Analogy cards (click the missing word), 9 Picture Analogy cards (click the missing picture), 9 How Are They Linked? cards (name the link or find the matching pair), 9 Type the Missing Word cards (type the word, with a first letter hint or a word bank) and 9 Drag and Link cards (drag words into analogies or sort word pairs). Every card has audio directions. Ways to use it: Word work centers, vocabulary review, early finishers, small group lessons or a calm activity in the days before Thanksgiving break.
