Poetry Activity - Portmanteau
What is Portmanteau?
That’s the hook for this 2-lesson packet. Is it just a fun word to say? Actually, it’s 2 words mixed together to make a new, fun word!
Using portmanteau to get my students thinking is one of the most fun lessons I teach. I start by putting the word on the board with a few examples and ask them if they can decipher what portmanteau is!
Lesson two focuses on critical thinking, creative writing, and the application of the newly learned content.
