Vocabulary: Three, Four & Five Letter Words

Directions:
Look up the words below. Think about them. Use them in sample sentences of your own. In your mind, try to
make connections between these words and information you already know, so as to form a reference point for the
word in the future.
Once you have a reference point for each of the words, verbally apply the words. Use them. Think: How do the
words fit in certain situations? What context would you need to use the word correctly? Can you justify the
negative and positive applications of these words? (Hint: Applying the words, in context, is what I will ask you to
do in class.)
