<p>Name: ______Date: ______6B- _____ Vocabulary: VITN: Slide 4 Guidelines</p><p>Directions: Use this sheet to help you successfully create a 4th slide in your VITN presentation. Choose ONE of the following options. The better the quality of your slide, the better your grade, so choose an option you’re prepared to do well. (I have a pet peeve about ComicLife cartoons, iMovies, and skits in which students don’t make scripts, practice, edit, or wear costumes. Plan, practice, edit!) </p><p>Slide 4 Options:</p><p>1. Movie: Make an original movie in which you somehow use and illustrate the meaning of your word. I strongly recommend costumes, scripts, editing, good sound and lighting, and planning. I’m ready to see talking trees, in full costume, discussing the transition from season to season. And, just to be clear, trees don’t sit in your bedroom in front of a One Direction poster! (Upload your iMovie into Google Drive; create a link to the movie (by sharing it); and paste the link onto slide 4.) </p><p> You may deliver a live skit instead, if you prefer. If you do so, please make a slide 4 with a title and an image(s) for your skit, indicating that your group chose to perform live.</p><p>2. Cartoon: Make an original ComicLife cartoon in which you somehow use and illustrate the meaning of the word. Your cartoon should be funny, amusing, thought-provoking, etc. I strongly recommend costumes and tight editing of the image; King George didn’t wear a Nike sweatshirt in the Butler Lab! (You’ll need to export your ComicLife cartoon as a .pdf or an image and then import it into slide 4.) </p><p>3. Word Study: Do some or all of the following, but make sure your slide is visually attractive!</p><p> Provide the etymology (origin) of the word:</p><p> List related words that share a root with your word (chron- or chromos- or khronos- = time: anachronism, chronic, chronological, synchronize, etc.). Explain the meaning of each related word and how it uses the root, and, if applicable, prefixes and suffixes.</p><p> List related words that share a prefix or suffix with your word (trans = across: transition, transportation, transformation, etc.). Explain the meaning of each related word and how it uses the prefix or suffix.</p><p> Name the year of the first known appearance of the word</p><p> Chart the evolution of the meaning of the word (changes over time in the way the word has been used, its various meanings, and the shifting contexts within which it’s been used). (over)  Create your own neologism (new word) using a portmanteau (clever combination / mash-up of words) within which you combine your vocabulary word with some other word, prefix, suffix, etc. Then somehow teach us your new word. </p><p>Examples: o brunch = breakfast + lunch o smog = smoke + fog o chillax = chill + relax o spork = spoon + fork o cronut = croissant + donut o Frappaccino = frappé + cappuccino o Tofurkey = tofu + turkey; Notdog = not + hot dog o frenemy = friend + enemy</p><p>*Or you could make a new part of speech for a word by adding a prefix or suffix to it. . Ex: bingeable = the verb binge (to take in a product, over and over again, until you can’t take in any more) + the suffix –able becomes an adjective meaning being so enjoyable and necessary you’d want to consume it endlessly… like English.</p><p> Ex: “Dude, English class is so totally bingeable that I read the entire New York State curriculum under the covers in bed by flashlight last night!”</p><p>4. New Word Study: Provide key information and learning tools for a new, challenging, and useful vocabulary word from your article.</p><p> o It should not be a vocabulary word we’ve ever studied in English class; it should be a word that is mostly or entirely unfamiliar to you (you had to look it up, even if you’ve heard it before) and that you think will be unfamiliar but useful to most or all of your classmates, as well.</p><p> o Choose a word that is worth knowing, that might be a “high-frequency word”; basically, select a word your audience are likely to see in their reading, hear in conversation, or want to use in their writing. Don’t choose technical words that are only used within a specialized context (engineering, biology, video games, etc.), and do not regularly appear in day-to-day use. </p><p> o Look up and list the POS, D, S, and OFW; also present the context from the article. </p><p> o Add an image that illustrates the word’s meaning. </p><p> o Make a word web / visual thesaurus / word splash / etymology (origin) / etc. for the word. </p><p> o Create mnemonic devices to help your audience remember your word and its meaning.</p><p>5. Song / Poem / Advertisement: Write and deliver a creative original text within which you use the word meaningfully.</p><p> o You may record the delivery of your song, poem, or ad, or, if you’d prefer, perform it live. Either way, please make a slide 4 with the title of your text and a related image(s). Your song, poem, or ad should feature your skillful use of poetic devices (simile, metaphor, rhyme, etc.). o On your slide, please attach a link to the words of your song, poem, or ad so your audience, if they were to want to do so, could see the text. Put the link in the title of the song, poem, or ad.</p>
