Congratulations on completing The Indian in the Cupboard!

• Did you find this book to be an exciting fantasy?
• Could you imagine yourself bringing a favorite toy to life and taking care of it?

Discuss your reflection with your parent or teacher. In this lesson, you will complete review activities and an extension activity to demonstrate your understanding of the book.

In each lesson you have completed so far, you have developed your vocabulary and understanding of new words used throughout the text. Gather all the vocabulary pages you completed in The Indian in the Cupboard lesson series to complete the first activity.

You have used context clues and a dictionary to define new vocabulary, and have chosen one word from each lesson to further explore. You are going to create a vocabulary test based on these pages. This test will have three sections:

1. Synonyms and antonyms

• Create four matching questions using a vocabulary word and the antonym.
• Then, create four matching questions using a vocabulary word and the synonym.
• Use the antonyms and synonyms you already identified using the vocabulary worksheets from the previous lessons.

See the examples below for how to set up a matching question:

2. Fill-in-the-blank

• Write eight sentences using your vocabulary words. Leave a blank where the vocabulary word belongs.

See the example below to make a fill-in-the-blank question:

• The storm has _________ out.
• Answer: The storm has petered out.

3. Definitions

• Use ten vocabulary words to create a matching section with the vocabulary word in one column and the definition in another column.

See the example below:

When you have finished writing the test, share it with your parent or teacher. See if they can ace your test!

When you are done, move on to the Got It? section to review the novel and take a comprehension test.
