Bellwrite: Create a word map for two of the vocabulary words from the word well. A word map includes the following: word, definition, part of speech, synonym, antonym, sentence in which it appeared in The Crucible, and a doodle representing the word.
We discussed the importance of studying vocabulary. We noted that precise vocabulary tends to lead to precise thinking.
Although word lists are not the most effective way to learn vocabulary, we will be studying the following words our students collected from The Crucible. Vocabulary is best studied in the context of the sentence where it is found, for then we can know how the word is used. See accompanying page numbers to help you locate the words. We created flashcards to help us learn the words we do not yet know.
