"Harrison Bergeron" Meaningful Sentences

Use all six (6) of the vocabulary words from "Harrison Bergeron" to write meaningful sentences. Sentences that do not conform to the formula will not receive credit. (Due 9/17/2010)

Remember:

• a meaningful sentence is made up of two independent sentences combined with a semicolon (;)


• the first sentence includes a vocabulary word


• the second sentence contains the definition of that vocabulary word


• the first word of the second sentence is not capitalized


• you should underline the vocabulary word and its definition

For instance, if the vocabulary word was:

Cooperate (v): to work or act together or jointly for a common purpose or benefit;

a meaningful sentence would be:

The students cooperated on their project; they worked together to make sure it was turned in on time.

(Hat Tip: Ms. Hildebrandt for her model sentence.)
