The Twits - Lesson 5: Thinking About Words - Worksheet

In Lesson 5 of an English teaching resource focused on "The Twits", students are encouraged to expand their vocabulary and understanding of adjectives. The "Thinking About Words" worksheet provides a structured activity where students are tasked with identifying words from the book that are unfamiliar to them. They must then use a dictionary to look up these words and write down their definitions, enhancing both their comprehension skills and vocabulary. This exercise not only bolsters their word knowledge but also familiarises them with the practical use of a dictionary as a valuable reference tool.

The lesson continues with an "Adjectives Worksheet" that aims to develop the students' ability to recognise and use descriptive words in sentences. Initially, they are asked to underline the adjectives in a series of given sentences, which helps to reinforce their understanding of adjectives as words that describe nouns. Subsequently, the worksheet prompts students to fill in the blanks with suitable adjectives, encouraging them to think creatively about how adjectives can modify and add detail to a sentence. Finally, the activity involves reading a section from "Mr. Twit Gets a Horrid Shock" and identifying any adjectives found within the text. This not only serves as a practical application of the lesson but also engages them with the literature they are studying.
