English II: "How Much Land..." Vocabulary

Write meaningful sentences using the following vocabulary words:

• Arable
• Communal
• Discord
• Disparage
• Forbear
• Homestead
• Prostrate
• Steppes

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:

Kumiss (n): a liquor made from fermented mare's or camel's milk

a meaningful sentence would be:

My friend Boris offered me a sip of his kumiss; I didn't want to drink alcoholic milk so I had apple juice instead.
