English II: Julius Caesar Meaningful Sentences

Download and print the worksheet handed out in class.

Complete meaningful sentences for all 15 vocabulary words.

Select three (3) vocabulary words and on separate sheets of paper illustrate your meaningful sentence for that word. Write your meaningful sentence at the bottom of the page large enough to be read from 10-15 feet away.

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:

Triumvirate (n): a government of three officers or magistrates functioning jointly.

a meaningful sentence would be:

The triumvirate met in the Senate twice a month; Julius Caesar and the two other co-rulers of Rome listened to the petitions of the people and then conferred and made decisions to benefit the country.
