Reading in my class

 

During homeroom blocks for reading my class has to complete a set of slides called vocabulary four square where we have to find the definition, synonyms, antonyms and find a sentence that the word must be include in. This vocabulary four helps improve our prior knowledge about words we need clarification on, or a clearer meaning on. Here is a one of many vocabulary four squares I have completed. In this vocab four square are words that I have found challenging to understand in the text.
