After arranging the words alphabetically, students will identify the type of each given word. For example, is the word a verb, noun, or adjective? This activity helps them understand the roles and functions of different word types in sentences.
The final task for the students is to write a dictionary meaning for each word they've identified. This step encourages them to use a dictionary and become familiar with its format while honing their comprehension and writing skills.
