Sage has misheard and misunderstood one of Mrs. Page's weekly vocabulary words. Her error leads to a humbling catastrophe: a momentous tragedy, in front of the entire class. Can Sage turn her vocabulary disaster: an event bringing great misfortune, into a triumph: a true success?I love using this story in my classroom! There are so many different uses and lessons that can be used in throughout this story especially when teaching writing. I absolutely love the play on words and my students always get a chuckle out of the mistakes that she makes when she misunderstands the words. There is also another lesson in the alphabet sentences that are around the edges of the story. It's a great vocabulary story that can help writers increase their potential word choice in any story that they may write.
