Do item 1 together. Have students read aloud the vocabulary word and the two sentence choices. Then ask a volun- teer to define substantial in his or her own words. Possible response: plenti- ful; an amount that nourishes or sup- ports Students should recognize that the first sentence provides a good example of the meaning of substan- tial because it describes a large quan- tity of food.
