― Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
Our first vocabulary day our goal is to hear and say the vocabulary words as often as possible to gain exposure to the words.
For our second vocabulary day, the goal is to do a deep dive into all the words by building a mind map!
Inevitably, students end up being superstars at a few words, and completely confused by others. These stations fill in the gaps in student knowledge.
After students are confident with all their vocabulary words, we'll finally take our multiple-choice assessment.

You've got a. Subject or predicate. Whatever. Periods are. Fun PERIOD!
