Book Talk Question # 6

Think about the interesting words and vocabulary words in your book. As you read, find 3 words that you want to look up. These words need to be words that you do not know the meaning of, or a word that you want to know more about. You might find that you know the meaning of every word, so you might find a word that you think made the sentence very interesting, or you might find a word that you do not hear very often. It might be a famous person from history that you want to know more about.

· First, find the 3 words and write the sentence from the book with that word in it.

· Next, look up the meaning of those words in the dictionary.For your blog post, write the words, sentence, and the definition. This is a lot of typing, so give yourself plenty of time.
