*** When a word is not in the dictionary, use the closest well known meaning. Antonyms are thought of by the student. Synonyms are found in the theasuarus- if not, then use what you know to be a synonym. Merriam Webster Online is good too.
** Sentences are in compound (a subject and verb plus a conjunction and a subject and verb) OR a complex format ( an independent clause and a dependent clause) and tells the reader of the sentence that the students can demonstrate knowledge of the word in context. For example: John joined the picket line with the other demonstrators, so he could protest the unfair wages of the workers in the factory.
