Meaning Flip

In this worksheet, students read sentences where a bolded word has multiple meanings. They must rewrite each sentence using the same bolded word but with a different definition. This task reinforces students’ understanding of polysemy-how one word can serve different functions in different contexts. Students practice rewriting sentences clearly while ensuring the new meaning still fits naturally in context. The activity promotes creativity, flexibility in language, and stronger command of vocabulary. It also supports writing fluency and comprehension of semantic shifts.
