Analogies Worksheet Synonym & Antonym Analogies Synonyms & Antonyms Synonym, Antonym & Homophone Review

===***Alternatives to the worksheets: Pair students up, each team getting one side of the white board, (using the worksheets as guided questions) say a word and tell them they must write a synonym or antonym (alternating). Which ever team gets the correct answer first receives a point. Also do this with the analogies; have them write the analogies on the board, and which ever team gets the correct answer for the missing word, gets a point.** ===

=== I can compare/contrast 2 or more stories I've read, taking note of the author's style and the content of the stories. ===

Activity Idea:
===Print copies of the original "Three Little Pigs" story, and the "The Wolf's Side of the Story." Read each story with your tutoring groups. Using the Venn Diagram, compare and contrast the two stories. They are 2 different versions of the same story, and the Wolf's side is humorous. Make sure to compare the different writing styles of the authors, and point out facts in each story that are the same and are different. ===

 //***Alternatives to reading the story aloud, is to assign parts, and do a reader's theater for the two stories. Everyone can have a turn reading.**// ======
