2. Add together each of the defined words to get a whole new word
Add together each of the defined words to get a whole new word. Example: to shout + what you say when you feel pain = a color = yellow.
1) A light brown color + to leave = a dance. 2) A store's announcement + a type of women's clothing = a building's location. 3) A vehicle + an animal pal = a floor covering. 4) The ocean + a father's boy = part of the year. 5) Another name for dad + a yellow veggie = a white fluffy snack.

6. The Process
The Goal: I can generate specific evidence to be used in an argumentative essay.
Individually – read the prompt and consider what it’s asking. Then begin to generate evidence to support various positions.
In a small group – discuss what the prompt is asking and make sure you all have a good feel for what’s expected. Don’t talk about evidence yet!! Do discuss positions that could be taken.
Individually – Now that you have a better understanding, generate more specific evidence that could be used.
Small group – discuss individual evidence, brainstorm additional evidence as needed. Then determine what your best evidence would be if you were writing this.
Present – one of your group members will present your position and the best evidence you have to support it.
Vote – we will vote for who has the best evidence and supports their position best. You cannot vote for yourself or your group.
