What to Include on Vocab HW: • You will include… • Guess of what you think the word means • Definition of the word • A CONTEXT-FILLED sentence with the word • A picture of the word • Every Thursday we will do “charades” where different people will act out the vocab word in the best way they can. More on this on Thursday.
