Directions:

Your Real World Vocabulary Display Page requires that all twenty (20) words be displayed clearly and neatly on a blank page of typing or construction paper.

Words must be researched and discovered in newspapers, magazines, books,brochures., pamphlets, or menus. Cut usable vocabulary words out with thecomplete sentence; they must be used in the context we study. They may be a variation of the word, but check with your teacher prior to using the word. Securely glue the cut-out sentence to the blank page and clearly highlight the word. Next to the sentence, write the complete definition of the word from the Real World Dictionary used by Willis High School, which are availablefree online or in the library for $0.70. You may use a real dictionary, also.

**You must turn in this page with all of the words highlighted (on back) along with your project.

  • Brochures; Pamphlets; Menus
  • Books – photocopy the word, cut it out, and paste on the page. You must include the title of the book and the author from where the word originated. Only 10 words may be used from a book.
