1. Work independently to define your words. You may use an online dictionary.     https://www.merriam-webster.com/kids
2. Write a sentence using the vocabulary word in the sentence. This sentence needs to make the meaning of the word obvious. It must be a complete sentence and cannot use the definition in the sentence. 
3. Find a google image that you think depicts the meaning of the word. It could be related to the sentence or not, but be ready to defend it (explain why you chose that picture)

Please read part 1 of Secret Samantha. Use headphones for the audio and please make sure that you are following along in the text. NO AIRPODS!! Please borrow headphones if you need them.
