CRITICAL THINKING TASK CARDS Word Relationships TRIADS I Literacy

Combine critical thinking with vocabulary development and have fun doing it with TRIADS I. Teach your students to use Bloom's upper level skills -- analysis, evaluation, and creation with TRIADS I. At the same time, they will be exploring word relationships. This resource is available in print and digitally on TPT Easel.

HOW TRIADS WORK
The challenge in this activity is to find 1 word that can be added to each of the TRIAD words to make a well-known phrase or compound word. The common word may be added before or after the TRIAD word. For example: add GRASS to the TRIAD words blue, hopper, and crab to make blueGRASS, GRASShopper, and crabGRASS.
