2. Answer the following:
1. What do you do when you come across an unfamiliar word?
Look it up
Use context clues to try and figure it out
Ignore it
Break it down to see if you can tell what the definition is by looking at each part of the word (prefixes, suffixes, and roots)
2. Then explain: Does that method usually work for you? Why do you think you prefer it over the others?

We are going to practice defining unfamiliar words as an essential part of reading to understand a text
You will be quizzed on social justice vocabulary HOWEVER you will not be quizzed on the this entire list—just the terms I made the quizlet from (you will get a vocab sheet on this later this week)
