Positive and Negative Connotation #2

Get students thinking about the nuance and connotation of related words by reading sentences and choosing the word with a more positive connotation! Part of a sixth- and seventh-grade vocabulary curriculum, this worksheet helps support students with reading comprehension by encouraging them to think more critically about the emotional meaning of words. Practicing identifying connotations can help expand students’ vocabulary knowledge, support speaking and listening skills, and help learners use more precise language when writing and editing their own work.
