Vocabulary

Hello Literature Circle A,

We have been introduced to lots of new vocabulary while reading In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson.  Your job is to create 8 sentences using 8 of the words from our glossary page we created.

You have all of the definitions, so use those to guide you in creating your sentences.

I can't wait to read what you come up with!

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

ATTENTION: Be sure to write sentences that include context clues, so that the reader could figure out the meaning of the word if they didn't know it.
