Sure! A Frayer Model is a graphic organizer that helps to deepen understanding of vocabulary words. It includes four sections: Definition, Characteristics, Examples, and Non-examples. I’ll provide a general template for you to fill out with the key vocabulary words from your unit. Below is an example structure for one vocabulary word, and you can replicate this format for each word provided by your teacher.
Frayer Model Template
Word:
Definition:
- (Write the precise meaning of the word.)
Characteristics:
- (List key attributes or features of the word.)
- (Consider how it functions in a sentence or context.)
- (Note any grammatical details.)
Examples:
- (Provide sentences or phrases that correctly use the word.)
- (Give relevant situations or scenarios where the word applies.)
Non-examples:
- (Provide examples of how the word should not be used.)
- (Mention any common misconceptions about the word.)
Example of a Frayer Model Entry

Characteristics:

Feel free to replicate this structure for each vocabulary word provided by your teacher, filling in the necessary details for each section! If you share specific words with me, I can help you come up with their Frayer Models directly.
