Think about the interesting words and vocabulary words in your book. As you read, find 3 words that you want to look up. These words need to be words that you do not know the meaning of, or a word that you want to know more about. You might find that you know the meaning of every word, so you might find a word that you think made the sentence very interesting, or you might find a word that you do not hear very often. It might be a famous person from history that you want to know more about.

First, find the 3 words and
write the sentence from the book with that word in it.

Next, look up the meaning of
those words in the dictionary.For your blog post, write the words, sentence,
and the definition. This is a lot of typing, so give yourself plenty of
time.

Well, there is a few words that I don't quite understand, since they describe the events very well in this book. The first word I have no idea is the word windbreaker. It actually says it a lot in the book but I'll read you one of the sentences :) "He pulled the torn remnants of his windbreaker, pieces really, around his shoulders and tried to hold what heat his body could find." A windbreaker is a jacket that prevents the wind. A second word is procedure. The sentence is "He did what he could, tightened his seatbelt, positioned himself, rehearsed mentally again and again what his procedure should be. A procedure is a particular way of accomplishing something or of acting. The third word is actually is in the same sentence as procedure is and it is rehearsed. It is a verb and it means to say again, to repeat.
