AAAA+Vocabulary+Assignment+Guidelines

Step Into Our Classroom Vocabulary Assignment Guidelines Step 1- Use a thesaurus (or dictionary, only when truly necessary) to define the word. Cite where this synonym or definition came from. I.e. Merriam Webster, etc. 2- State a textual relationship with the word. I.e. obstinate = dwarves Where do we see the concept of this word present in the reading selection. This is a simple two-three word relationship; not a sentence. 3- Write a contextual sentence with the vocabulary word (a sentence that would help someone to better understand the meaning of the word). I.e. Let’s look at Sarah’s example of a vocabulary word from Grade 8’s __Shabanu__ by Suzzane Fisher Staples. Sarah- b) Shabanu  c) Because Shabanu did not care greatly for her appearance and spent most of her time outside with the camels she had a much disheveled look. Excellent!
 * disheveled** – very untidy (of people or their appearance)
