Multiple Meanings
for the Young Adult
Dorothy McCarr
Multiple Meanings for the Young Adult includes motivational fun
exercises that help older students build a meaningful vocabulary. The exercises
focus on common words that have many different meanings. It is designed for the
older, mature student (middle school through adulthood) who is reading at approximately
a second- or third-grade level. Eighty common, practical words found in newspapers,
magazines, and texts are included in the book. Twenty lessons each include four
words, with three exercises for each word. Each of the four words in the lesson
has from 4 to 10 definitions.
Exercise 1 of each lesson has 10 sentences using the word in different contexts.
The student identifies the correct usage of the word from the definition page
of each lesson. In Exercise 2 the student matches parts of a sentence from two
columns (10 sentences total). In Exercise 3 the student writes the complete
sentences formed in Exercise 2 and indicates the correct definition for the
word as found on the definition page at the beginning of the lesson. An answer
key is included at the back of the workbook for students who are capable of
working independently; it also may be removed by the instructor.
