Connotations Reference Book
(visual/kinesthetic)
To help students become familiar with the difference between denotation and connotation, have them make a class connotations book. Have students create a page for each word pair found in the Connotation activity. Ask that each page include
- definitions of the two words,
- a label to tell whether the word has a positive or negative connotation,
- sentences illustrating the positive and the negative connotation.

Have the students staple their pages together into one class book and add a cover. As the school year goes on, students can add new words and pages to the book.
