Activity #2

Frayer (Vocabulary) Models

Frayer models are a fun simple way to learn new vocabulary.

Directions:

• Pick a vocabulary word from the book to create a Frayer vocabulary Model

Frayer Models have 6 sections

1. The word goes in the middle (Big and Bold)
2. Sentence from the text goes in the top left. Include the page number.
• Copy the whole sentence. Properly!
3. The definition of the word goes in the top right. Include the part of speech (Noun, Verb, Adjective, or Adverb)
• Use wordcentral.com
4. Synonyms & examples go in the lower left. Synonyms are words that mean the same thing 
• Use your own knowledge, along with wordcentral.com 
5. Antonyms & Opposites go in the lower right
• Use your own knowledge, along with wordcentral.com
6. An Illustration of your word goes at the very bottom 

Tips:

• Write big and bold. Fill the space
• Make sure everything is spelled correctly
• Write using bold, dark colors. 
• Color and decorate using light colors, or light shading
• Be aware of the time and work diligently
• Try to not copy the definition from the dictionary. Try to fully understand the definition and put it in your own words if you can
• Be sure you include the part of speech (Noun, verb, adjective, or adverb)
• You might want to complete the model in pencil first, then go over your work in pen, markers, or colored pencil.

Have a great day!
