Farnborough Virtual Vocabulary Day26th June 2020

What is vocabulary and where might we find it?

Vocabulary is a list or collection of words and their meanings.

Vocabulary is all around us.

How could I find out what different

words mean?

We are going to share a story about a little girl who should have used her dictionary to look up the tricky word miscellaneous.

Do you know what this word means?

Miscellaneousconsisting of a mixture of various things that are not usually connected with each other.

See if you can spot her mistake.

In the story Miss Alaineus, Sage mistakes the word Miscellaneous for an actual person.

She is devastated (wasted, ravaged), ruined (destroyed), finished (brought to an end), by this embarrassing mistake. But Sage transforms her mistake with a creative leap when she arrives on the Vocabulary Parade school stage as Miss Alaineus, Queen of All Miscellaneous Things.
