Turn to page 95 in your SpringBoard book and read the short passage titled “Catacombs and Carnival”

When you come across your word, use context clues to come up with a definition for the word. Write the definition next to the word in your notes and wait for further instruction.

GIVE & GET

Once everyone has their one word and definition, the teacher will signal for you to mix. When the teacher signals you to stop, you must find a partner and GIVE the partner your word and the definition. Once your partner writes down the word and definition, you will GET a new word and definition from your partner. You must have 17 different words in total.
