After reading the short story and using the context clues to help figure out the words meanings, write
a T if you believe you used the words correctly. Write a F if you believe you used the words
incorrectly, and write a ? if you still are not sure about the word’s meaning.
Now, you must rewrite the sentences. If you marked the words with an F but now understand its
meaning, rewrite the sentences using your new knowledge. If you marked a word with a ?, look up
the meaning of the word and rewrite the sentences.
