2.     Find and write the sentence on the page number given in parentheses:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
3.     Write the definition of your word, as it is used in the sentence above:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
4.     On the back of this page, write your word large enough at the top so it can be seen from a distance. Do this in crayon, marker, or colored pencil.
5.     Draw a picture representing the definition of your word. It does not necessarily have to correspond with the novel. This picture should be clear enough so that someone unfamiliar with the word could guess it, but it should not use any words to give it away.
6.     At the bottom of the page, write an original sentence (you make it up) using the word correctly.
