Students received a packet with a variety of vocabulary strategies/activities they will be able to choose from for future vocabulary assignments.

There are 4 quotes on front of the packet. Students were to choose one quote and respond to it.

There are also 4 words on the front. At their tables, each student chose one of the words and completed several of these activities. They worked individually and later moved to groups according to vocabulary words. They had the opportunity to share activities and complete the handout.

Next class, students will share definitions of all words at their tables.
