NAME: ___________________________________
Vocabulary for The Stranger
Directions:
1. Fill in the definition (if there are multiple definitions, please see the page number for context) and an
original sentence, composed by you.
2. Each original sentence should include a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS) with a comma. A review of
this has been uploaded to the right of The Stranger haiku page as well as on the ‘Grammar Resources’
page.
3. My preference is that you download this sheet, type in the answers, save the new file, and print out to turn
in; if you chose to write on this document, your handwriting needs to be very, very neat. As in very.
4. Be sure that your original sentence demonstrates that you understand the meaning of the word; for example,
“I was destitute” wouldn’t cut it, but “After my business failed and my house was foreclosed, I was
destitute” would be quite lovely.
5. Don’t forget: if you make me lol, there’s extra credit!
Each definition and sentence are worth 4 points each, for 8 points total per word.
