read the words to them.


  1. Tell me what you think of when you hear the word injury.
    [For words related to injury—like bandage, fall down, and doctor—
    write these words at the top and bottom of injury and use yellow lines
    to connect these words to the center.]
    [For words that have similar meaning to injury—like hurt, cut, and bee
    sting, write these words to the left of injury and use green lines to
    connect these words to the center.]

  2. Tell me what you think is the opposite of injury.
    [For words that are non-examples or are the opposite of injury—like
    healthy, not hurt, or well, write these words to the right of injury and
    use red lines to connect these words to the center.]

  3. Talk with your partner using the word injury and what you have
    learned about the word injury from the Word Web. Try to use
    complete sentences.
    [Throughout this domain, encourage students to continue thinking
    about the word injury and add additional words that are related to,
    similar to, and opposite of injury to the Word Web as they arise.]
