Connect the Words and Complete the Sentences


OBJECTIVES Students will C apply knowledge of vocabulary words to connect them with clues and to complete sentences.


C apply new vocabulary skills to writing.


GUIDE STUDENTS For the first activity, note that stu- dents are to connect vocabulary words with sayings and phrases that suggest their meanings.


For the second activity, they will sup- ply clauses rather than single words. Remind students that the best answers will provide ample context to demon- strate knowledge of the boldfaced word. Write this sample item on the chalkboard: The jury decided to acquit the woman because ___. Offer two pos- sible responses: it was a good idea; the evidence was not sufficient for a convic- tion. Note how the first answer, while it makes sense, does not reflect knowl- edge of the boldfaced word. The sec- ond answer clearly shows that the writer understands the word acquit.


Enrichment Word Origins


The word forensic comes from a Latin word that means “forum” or “court of law.” Ask students to find out what the Forum was in ancient Rome. Then ask how the word relates to both the theme of Law and Order and the modern use of the word forensic.


PRACTICE For the first exercise, which contains some clichés and idioms, you might wish to pair second-language learners with fluent speakers. For the second exercise, ask students to complete the items on their own, but discuss their responses as a class.


Write It! Assign this writ- ing activity for additional


practice and application of the Part 1 vocabulary words.
