It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Dictionary Practice" that asks students to:
1.
Write down the definition of each given word.
2.
Draw a picture to illustrate the meaning of the word.
3.
Use one of the words in a sentence at the bottom.
The words listed are:
-
cliff/rock
-
galosh
-
foot
-
sprout
-
poll/wog
Let’s go through each word, provide its definition, and then explain how to complete the task.
---
1. cliff/rock
-
Definition: A steep rock face or a large piece of stone; a cliff is a high, steep rock formation, often near the sea.
-
Drawing idea: Draw a tall, rocky mountain side with maybe a bird flying nearby or waves crashing below.
-
Sentence example: *The hikers climbed up the cliff to see the beautiful view.*
---
2. galosh
-
Definition: A waterproof shoe or boot worn over regular shoes to keep them dry in wet weather (also called "rain boots").
-
Drawing idea: Draw a pair of rubber boots with water splashing around them.
-
Sentence example: *She put on her galoshes before walking through the muddy yard.*
---
3. foot
-
Definition: The lower part of the leg, used for walking or standing; also refers to the unit of measurement (1 foot = 12 inches).
-
Drawing idea: Draw a human foot or a ruler showing 1 foot.
-
Sentence example: *The dog licked my foot after I gave it a treat.*
---
4. sprout
-
Definition: A young plant that grows from a seed; can also mean to grow quickly or to appear suddenly.
-
Drawing idea: Draw a small green plant growing out of soil with a sun above it.
-
Sentence example: *The seeds sprouted after we watered them every day.*
---
5. poll/wog
- Wait — this seems like a typo or mix-up. Let's clarify:
-
Poll: Could refer to a "pollen" (tiny particles from flowers) or a "poll" (a survey). But
"poll/wog" isn't a standard word.
- However, looking closely, it might be
"pollen" or
"pollywog" (a frog tadpole). Since "wog" is not a common word, it's likely a typo for
"pollywog", which is an old-fashioned term for a
tadpole.
So, assuming it's
"pollywog":
-
Definition: A young frog, especially a tadpole in the early stages of development.
-
Drawing idea: Draw a tadpole swimming in a pond with lily pads.
-
Sentence example: *The pollywog swam slowly under the lily pad.*

Final Step: Sentence Using One Word
At the bottom, write a sentence using any of the words. For example:
> *After the rain, I wore my galoshes to walk to school without getting my shoes wet.*
