If you already copied all of these vocab words, then please prepare a word wall vocab card using one of these words and their definitions.   Word wall cards must be on a regular size (81/2 x 11 inch) piece of paper or half a sheet.  Make it colorful and creative, make the defined word large and its definition small.
