This vocabulary study guide is based on the Frayer model. The vocabulary word goes in the center rectangle. Students then write a short, concise definition of the word (upper left corner), identify a personal connection to the word (upper right corner), provide an example of the word (lower left corner, and a few synonyms of the word (lower right corner). I've found this study method high effective with students struggling to grasp the meanings and usage of unfamiliar words. Created by Kevin Sparks.
