This week our Oral Language task is Adopt a Word.  In pairs we had to adopt a word to look after for the week and complete activities with.  

​The first task was three meanings - find the actual meaning of the word and then create two 'fake' meanings, share them with the class and they have to guess the correct meaning.  Can you guess which is the correct meaning for each word?
accomplish (Ella, Wharepapa, Josh P)
1 start something
2 achieve something
3 fix something

comprehensive (Ripena, Sawyer)
1 a type of dish
2 includes everything
3 understanding

considerate (Mita, Savanna)
1 kind and thoughtful
2 unhappy and mean
3 hate and anger

construct (Anaru, Shanel)
1 to run long distance
2 to work hard
3 making something by placing parts together

manipulate (Brooklyn, Angelica)
1 handle or arrange something clever
2 do or think something clever
3 do or act something bad

obsolete (Theo, Amie-Grace)
1 very excited
2 ready to act
3 not used anymore, old or worn out

predominant (Libby, Jackson)
1 arrange information or figures
2 decay into dust or dirt
3 the largest or most powerful

preliminary (Iela, Tevita)
1 getting ready for Halloween 
2 preparing the props for a show
3 coming before and preparing for an important event

protocol (Josh F, Ruby)
1 behaviour between other devices
2 the greatness of a device
3 what different types of devices

1 good enough
2 bad enough
3 great enough

sympathetic (Mitchell, Andrew)
1 hurt someone's feelings
2 the sharing or understanding of other people's feelings
3 a thing that suggests something

Word Pictures

Today with our adopted word we needed to create a word picture, either digitally or by hand, to show the meaning of our word.
