Using a Glossary Opening Page

Start-Up Activity

Read about the parts of a glossary. Then point students to a sample glossary from a social studies or science book. Have them choose an interesting or new word from the glossary, read its meaning, and use it in a sentence. Have volunteers share their words and sentences. 

Think About It

“Few activities are as delightful as learning new vocabulary.”
