Overview
Although our justice system may differ significantly from the one in The Scarlet Letter, the words on this worksheet remain relevant to any justice-themed discussion today. Students will use this worksheet to distinguish among some abstract words and categorize them by part of speech. They will then use some of the words to answer an important question tied to a theme of the text. Consider handing out the worksheet before students read The Scarlet Letter so they can look up unknown words as they read.
