I have occasionally used this lesson at the end of a quarter to have students practice words and usage. This lesson prompts students to look words up in the dictionary, play scrabble, and write a short poem using the words they've used in the lesson. I used 1 scrabble board between 2-4 students. Materials needed: Dictionaries, Scrabble, powerpoint, etc. Aligned with Common Core State Standards: RI.8.4, L.9-10.2
