Directions: Use each word in an original sentence. Your sentences need to contain
details and thoughts to prove that you understand the meaning of each word.
Therefore, you may actually need to write several sentences for a vocabulary word
in order to show that you understand how to use it properly. Write your
sentences on a separate piece of paper.

DIRECTIONS: Use each word in your own original sentence. Each sentence must contain enough
information to prove that you understand the meaning of the word. Sometimes you may need to
have more than one sentence for a word in order to show that you understand the meaning of
the word.
Here is an example for you to use as a guideline.
Ex. doleful means sad 
Bad=== The little boy was doleful.
The reader cannot tell if the boy was tall, funny, happy, etc.
Better but not great=== The little boy was doleful when his dad died.
The reader cannot tell with certainty whether or not the boy was happy or sad.
Awesome== The little boy was doleful when his dad died. He pouted and cried everyday.
The reader can definitely tell that the boy is sad (not happy) because he pouted and
cried. Pouted and cried are clues.
