Unit 3 Vocabulary




Look at the following Vocabulary words.

Work with a partner using TitanPad. Write a sentence for each vocabulary word, using the word correctly.

Each group writes 19 sentences:

Good Example:

1) The pyramids of Egypt are thousands of years old so they are ancient.

Bad example:

2) Archeology is a science.

The pictures can help with your sentences but read the definition to write the sentence. You can make your own examples but make sure the sentence shows the meaning of the word.
