In the Lesson Document there are Vocabulary lists for this reading. With your partners, identify the part of speech and write a definition for each word you were assigned. Then create an example sentence using that word. Some of the words have been done for you. After you have completed the vocabulary that you were assigned, read all the definitions that the other students wrote. Ask if you have any questions.
