The Sign of Four - Four Lessons to Teach Its Vocabulary

Trying to jazz up vocabulary lessons can sometimes leave you scratching your head. However, there is no question that students enjoy learning new words and are interested in doing so - not to mention that it's integral to their understanding of a text.

Included in this package is:

1) a comprehensive PowerPoint of 4 vocabulary lessons covering 40 vocabulary words from the novel, presented through interesting activities that include creative writing, group competition, peer evaluation, and other tasks that will make your students truly think about the definition and use of their newfound words!
2) an introduction on how to use this resource
3) a list of the vocabulary for reference
4) a student and teacher copy (of answers) of worksheets

Three of these vocabulary lessons are from Part 1 of my SOW on the novel, The Sign of Four. The fourth vocabulary lesson included here is NOT included elsewhere and was specifically designed for this resource. So, if you have the teaching content down pat for the meat of the novel and just need a way to spice up teaching the vocabulary, then this resource is definitely for you! It would also function wonderfully when it comes to reviewing the novel and developing higher vocabulary come GCSEs.
