Vocabulary Builder Sheet

Students will pair up and work together for seven minutes to match the terms below with their definitions. One student will record the answers on a separate sheet of paper. For instance, if you are responding to Question 1. Oasis you would write down 1f as your response. We will go over the answers as a class. Once this exercise is finished I will replace this page with the actual vocabulary and terms together for future reference. Once you have completed this assignment and class discussion please move on to the next step by clicking here.
