It's confusing because they want you to put "aw" together in one box.
MisterProfGuy
This is telling to pick only the aw words, cake and glue aren't included. >!Straw, paw, draw, yawn and saw!<

From the worksheet's description on [Twinkl](https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-8499-find-and-write-the-aw-words-differentiated-activity-sheets-): > Students are given a set of different images relating to words which they should identify and spell. Once identified, encourage them to colour in the images that are spelt using the 'aw' phoneme. > Some of the words included in this aw phonics worksheet are: > Saw > Lawn > Straw > Yawn From the answer sheet: > s/aw; c/a/k/e (split digraph); l/aw/n; g/l/ue; d/r/aw; s/t/r/aw; y/aw/n; p/aw; j/i/g/s/aw.

I see that no one actually answered. But as for my answer? There doesnt seem to be a clear logical answer to me, I cant think of anything nor is there If I figure anything out ill edit my comment

Why are people confused, the instructions clearly say to color the pictures with an aw sound. They don't say every word has an aw sound. Just don't color the glue or the cake.

The instructions are unclear and others might be correct that not all pictures have the target sound 2 could be frosting?? Not sure if that fits in the phonics boxes Lost on the glue stick

Edit: I'll also note that in my dialect, #9 is more accurately a "jigsaw puzzle" and would typically be shortened as "puzzle" rather than "jigsaw." A "jigsaw" is [this](https://www.boschtools.com/binary/ocsmedia/optimized/1434x828/o250245v947_cordedjigsawJS365boschapplicationworkshop3.png).

It’s not a “flan,” is it? That’s not what I think they look like…

There was me thinking they wanted torte for the cake
SteampunkExplorer
They've made a mistake. That's a "jigsaw puzzle". A "jigsaw" is the type of saw that the puzzle is named after. 🥲 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_(tool) And I agree that you're probably just supposed to leave the cake and glue stick uncolored.

This is an absolutely horrible English language lesson. Who comes up with this stuff? What is even the purpose of this?

About the jigsaw: I have never in my life called it a jigsaw puzzle. Australian/UK childhood. Adding "puzzle" seems to be an American usage.

As a native - college educated- English speaker, I gotta say I hate these sorts of workbook pages! They are so confusing. Poor instructions and poor layout. Good luck 😅

The instructions are very confusingly written, vut it days to write the words and THEN color only the words that have an aw sound in them. The squares don't help either, very confusing activity overall.

Hello! Teacher here. The instructions say to 1) write the words and then 2) color the words with the /aw/ sound. My interpretation is that not all the pictures have the /aw/ sound. Hope this helps :)

1. Saw 2. Cake 3. Lawn 4. Glue Stick 5. Draw 6. Straw 7. Yawn 8. Paw 9. Jigsaw Edit: It says to color the ones with an “aw” sound so maybe 2 and 4 aren’t supposed to have answers with “aw” in them.

I hate this, it's pedagogically awful.
Ammar1818
The second one could be sawdust? It doesn't have to be a cake y'know. As for the glue one, it might be caulk? it has the aw sound phonetically but not the letters, at least this is the closest word I could come up with.
so_im_all_like
I guess you aren't supposed to interact with the cake and glue stick panels per the instructions, as I understand them.
ReySpacefighter
No they don't, read the question again. It only wants you to find/write/colour the ones with the sound, not those that don't.
Gingerrrr
Could it be "slaw"?
Birthday-Clean
The cake and glue are correct but as per the question in the paper they are not meant to be colored. Only pictures who's words have aw sound need to be colored.
astrielx
It says to colour the ones with an 'aw' sound, implying not all of them have one. That being #2 and #4.
LogRollChamp
Gnaw for cake. Maybe your teacher also likes to gnaw on glue sticks.

2 is buzzs**aw** — it’s not a cake, it’s a cylindrical piece of wood with wood shavings on the top
Mistigeblou
I says write the words THEN colour in the 'aw' sounds. Perhaps Cake and glue are the exception that should not be coloured to show understanding
CrowyCrowy
My first instinct to the third one was dawn. Surprised to see literally everyone else got lawn and that being the right answer.
maylena96
I think you just need to write all of the words, even the ones without the "aw" sounds (maybe the cake is pie?) and then only color the picture of the words that have "aw" in them.

Glue…. Glew….. Glaw????

Chawcolate Cake?
ralmin
The cake could be a torte which in some dialects (most British English dialects) has the ‘aw’ sound made by the letters ‘OR’. The boxes could have the phonemes split up as T / OR / T. The glue stick though, I have no idea

WTF? They made them all one short! I think they're maybe... actually no this makes no sense whatsoever.
Comfortable-Hatter
I saw the flawless raw ch-aw-colate fr-aw-sting and gawped and gawked slack-jawed in awe. I grabbed it with my claws and opened my maw as wide as a yawn. Bawling I fawned “whose papaw spawned this cake enrobed in this bawdy shawl, this devil spawn that was the last straw that broke my will. Now I am pawn to this treat and must trawl the world, brawling all that stand before me and this □□□”

1. For cake, since it looks rather fancy for a wedding, we can say, 'AWcassion.' 2. For cake, from what Nova mentioned, 'jAWbreaker,' is a word synonymous with cake that has the word 'AW'. You can also try 'SAWdust cake.' 3. Maybe it would be best to reread the question; it asks to colour the images that have the 'aw' sound in them. The question is perhaps not associated with the spelling task. So glue shall remain, 'glue,' whilst cake, considering it's three-letter word, shall be, 'pie.' :))))))
Downtown_Sport9338
You need to write 'cake' and 'glue' as it is and 'NOT' color them as mentioned in the above question. It just says to color the ones which have 'aw' sound. Since 'cake' and 'glue' don't have the 'aw' sound, don't color them, just write the name.
CocoWhite77
Just don't color glue and cake (?)
Rust414
What is the cake and glue supposed to be.
ChuWard
I don't know if it's been said already, but the instructions only tell you to write the words and colour in for pictures with "aw" in the name. So "cake" and "glue" won't apply
Evening-Doughnut-721
Think we can agree the cake and glue stick are an awful flaw.

If they're including common Yiddish words, the cake might be "nosh" (snack).
OriginalCultureOfOne
Note the instructions: "Find and Write the 'aw' Words Write the words and then colour the pictures with an 'aw' sound in them." English grammar is delightfully and confusingly ambiguous sometimes. Is it possible they want you to write all the words, but only colour the ones with an 'aw' sound? (i.e. leave "cake" and "stick" uncoloured)? Still seems bizarre to me that they each seem to be missing a character space to allow the printing of the full words.

It says write all the words, then colour any words with the /aw/ sound, not write /aw/ in all of them. You only put /aw/ for the ones that actually have /aw/ in them. So cake and glue would just be segmented into their respective phonemes / c / a / ke / and / g / l / ue /. I agree, it’s poorly worded.
LargeNHot
Frosting also has the “aw” sound in a slightly different form though? 🤔
