How close were your best guesses about unfamiliar words?

Did your word attacks hit their targets? Use an online or print dictionary to find out. Look up each word on your list, using an online or print dictionary, and compare your best guesses against the dictionary definitions. Make notes on your list of definitions to correct any near (or far) misses in your guesses about the words’ meanings. Then, complete the journal assignment below.

Close up of a bullseye target at an archery range, none of the arrows have hit the bullseye.

Use each of the words you defined to write a sentence that uses the word correctly.
