Your Word


Note: I have used this activity as an introductory exercise at the beginning of my English classes, but I think it works well as a character analysis exercise, too.

Your Word

                                                         -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

(Character) Name:

Word:                                              
Pronunciation:
Etymology:

Directions: Please write a short paragraph about the word that best represents your life right now. Summarize the definition and explain how it represents your identity.
