Name_______________________________ Spelling Homework Every week you will complete your choice of spelling homework. However you must try every method at least once, but no more than twice. When you turn in a spelling homework, enter the date next to the choice. Spelling Homework Choices Story Definitions Words in Words A/W/S Date 1 How to do it Use all of your spelling words in a story. Your story must make sense and use everything we’ve learned about writing good paragraphs. Look up your spelling words in the dictionary. Do not use an online dictionary. Write the guidewords for the page you find the word on, the first definition of the word, and its part of speech. For each spelling word, make as many 3+ letter words as you can. For example, from “unbearable” you can make: bear, able, near, bar, babe, real, etc. Write an antonym and synonym for each word like this: antonym/WORD/synonym For example: worried/ NONCHALANT/ indifferent Reverse ABC order Write your words in order from Z to A. Make sure you are using reverse alphabetical order all the way through the word. Word Length Write your words in order from the one with the fewest letters to the word with the most letters. Two Color Words Write each of your words with all of the vowels in one color and the consonants in another color. Ransom Words Write spelling words by cutting out letters from a magazine or newspaper. Paste or glue the letters together to create words. Picture Words Write the word then draw a picture of the meaning. If you can’t make a simple picture to represent the meaning, write the word in a fancy way. Comic Strip Word Scramble Word Search Date 2 Create a comic strip using your words in the dialogue. Make sure you have at least 4 boxes. Scramble the letters of each word. Then write a clue to help someone guess the scrambled word. Use grid paper to make a word search using all your words. Crossword Puzzle Use all of your words in a crossword puzzle. You can make your own puzzle or use a web site like puzzlemaker.com. Alliteration Sentences Write Alliteration sentences that include your spelling word. Be sure to underline your spelling word. Alliteration occurs when a series of words begin with the same sounds. (For example, Tania and Tony tiptoed treacherously towards the terrible tower.) Use a dictionary to find the root/base of your words, their meaning, and other related words. For example: Word Root Meaning Examples aquarium aqua water aquatic, aqueduct, aquarium Word Origins Rhyming Pairs Creative Spelling Outline Acrostics Poem Make rhyming pairs with each of your spelling words. Then create clues so that others can try to guess the right answers. For example: Mouse/House = "a small rodents home", Damp/Stamp = "wet postage", Legal/Eagle = "a bird in a court of law" Write all your spelling words in cursive in a continuous line to form a picture to do with this week’s story. Make acrostics for 10 of your words. Write each word vertically. Use the letter on each line to come up with a word/phrase. Use your words to write a poem. Keep this in your homework folder!
