This activity is NOT interactive. We hope you will use our "short samples" to inspire you to write your own creative and longer story using the 16+ words in this week's vocabulary lesson plan. You have permission to make a hard copy for further vocabulary study at home or in the classroom.
WEEK 2: My vocabulary.com STORY words from the roots DICT and CRED (in alphabetical order):
SHORT STORY using the root DICT = to say, declare:
The young boy used his DICTIONARY when he DEDICATED himself to study the INDICTMENT of the DICTATORIAL ruler who continues to issue EDICTS. The journalist�s assessment concluded that the DICTATORSHIP was PREDICATED in evil. The ruler had total JURISDICTION over the populace. The journalist made a PREDICTION that INDICATES that, after all, the ruler will be forced to ABDICATE. (Can you fit the word "discredit" into this story?)
SHORT STORY using the root CRED = to believe, trust:
The CREDENTIALS of the MISCREANT had no CREDIBILITY. His INCREDIBLE CREDO left people INCREDULOUS because he was such a DISCREDIT to humanity. Not a single person gave CREDENCE to his supposed CREED of beliefs. This man would never be a CREDIT any society.
