Dictionary unlocks the secrets of the English language
for millions of people. Dictionary Day encourages us to improve ourselves and
the way we speak with others by enhancing our language in the study of the
Dictionary. There is power in language, in the command of a broad vocabulary
consisting of many words. Poets use words to describe a great and beautiful
world, to enchant us and enlighten us. Scientists fiddle out the minutest of
miracles in the functioning of the world, and pass them on by using precise and
clear language that transmits information from one to another. So, it is only
fitting that such a thing as Dictionary Day would exist to encourage us to
challenge our vocabulary, to broaden it and perhaps take an opportunity to
expand our language to the full scope of the tongue’s diversity.
Commemorating the anniversary of Noah Webster’s
birth in 1758, it’s largely an opportunity for Witty International
School,Bhilwara;English language teachers to organize virtual classroom
activities on 15 and 16 October encouraging students to build their dictionary skills and to exult
in the joy of words. Dictionary-themed games like ABC Countdown, Rewordable,
Online search, Riddles and Quiz, fascinated the students of grade 3 to10
to evaluate themselves whereas the videos ingrained in them a love of learning
and improving their vocabulary by using a dictionary or a web search
engine..The students could codify the entry words listed in alphabetical order
and how guide words help to find the words on that page faster.
