Vocabulary+Acquisition

Complete this template for each word. An example is included. You will be assessed individually in the completion of your vocabulary templates. It is not advisable to divide the work among group members. Acquisition of vocabulary is very important in reading; you will learn better if you are not passively copying others' work.

 An explanation for the boxes: Upper right box: Look up the definition. Put definition or synonyms in the box.  Upper left box: Examples you can think of.  Lower left box: antonyms; if there are none online, you can try to think of some.  Lower right box, most important: The bridge you build with prior knowledge, the hook to the word. Make some kind of connection!  Below the box: Find a sentence that uses the word and copy it here! If you can't find a sentence, make up your own!



You may type all your words into the PowerPoint and then print, or hand copy, the template. Your choice!
