Open a google.doc and call it Vocabulary Words.

  1. Look up each vocabulary word.
  2. Write down the meaning of the word.
  3. Find an online example of the word (not one that uses the word, one that does what the word means.-- Describe a situation that uses suspense. Give me an example of a metaphor).
