Your job is to find vocabulary words from the reading that you feel are powerful, puzzling, or
unfamiliar. Identify the page, paragraph, and the word. Look up the definition of the word in a
dictionary so that you will be prepared to read the definition of the word, a few synonyms, and a
few antonyms. (Game: Match the words to their synonym or antonym)
