A class discussion on reference materials opens up a lesson on how to use these important resources. They discover that dictionaries, glossaries, and thesauruses are called word reference resources, and they practice using them. The class is divided up into three groups. Each one is assigned a different resource, and they complete a worksheet, embedded in the plan. It has them answer questions about the specific use of each resource. The worksheet is in a graphic organizer format and is quite good. Each group reports out to the class and shares their findings.
