* Your vocabulary quiz will be 10 words selected by your teacher (you must know all 20). You need to able to define and compose sentences for each word. Some weeks, we will write stories with our words, but his week's quiz will only have sentences and definitions.

  • Here's an example of a "gets no credit" sentence: "The boy gaped." (This sentence does not highlight the word's meaning.)
  • Here an over the top example of a "gets full credit" sentence: "The boy gaped in disbelief when he saw the official Red Ryder carbine action range model air rifle leaning against the Christmas tree." (This sentence leaves no room to doubt the word's meaning.)
