Chapter 3 and 4 Vocabulary
Look at the vocab words at the top of page 12. I will give each pair of you 2 or 3 words to define. Using the novel, your own mind, or an online dictionary find the CORRECT definition for each word. As a pair, create a comment that has your 3 words and the definitions - BUT do not post it. You will share with the rest of the class your definitions, and then record what others found. After you have a definition for every word, you may post your comment.
