WARM UP
 Put your name on your Independent Reading Log and turn it into the box
 Get your SpringBoard book
 In the vocabulary section of your notebook, number a page 1 – 17, skip a line between
each number.
 Next to the #1, write the word that is assigned to you based on the number on your desk
(words are on the board).
 Turn to page 95 in your SpringBoard book and read the short passage titled “Catacombs
and Carnival”
 When you come across your word, use context clues to come up with a definition for the
word. Write the definition next to the word in your notes and wait for further instruction.
GIVE & GET
 Once everyone has their one word and definition, the teacher will
signal for you to mix. When the teacher signals you to stop, you must
find a partner and GIVE the partner your word and the definition.
Once your partner writes down the word and definition, you will
GET a new word and definition from your partner. You must have 17
different words in total.
