9 One of your weekly vocabulary options is to imagine one of your vocabulary words as a person with a personality, a job, an outfit, a way looking at life. You will personify the word. This will: teach you a poetic tool. help you to think more deeply about a word s meaning. make you analyze and write creatively using a new word s meaning.
10 But how do I personify a vocabulary word? you ask. It s easy. You simply have to tap into your poetic brain. I ll show you the process. One of my favorite words is the transitive verb defenestrate. Asked yourself what kind of person would I associate with the word. In this case my answer would be a Hollywood stuntman because they are thrown from windows. Yes, it really is a word! Meet Mr. Defenestrate, my visualized stuntman!
11 Yes, it really is a word!

20 Mirror by Sylvia Plath Vocabulary Collectors I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. What ever you see I swallow immediately Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful--- The eye of a little god, four-cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall. It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers. Faces and darkness separate us over and over. Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me, Searching my reaches for what she really is. Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon. I see her back, and reflect it faithfully. She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands. I am important to her. She comes and goes. Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness. In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish. Where and how does Sylvia Plath best personify the mirror in her poem? Circle the poem s three most challenging words. Look those words up. Which would make the best personified character? Work with a partner to design a vocabulary entry that would earn a four on the rubric. Be creative!
