Frontier Vocab

Frontier words are terms we recognize but don’t know well enough to use in our own language. These are the easiest words to add to our vocabularies.

For this response do each of these steps...

1. Choose FOUR frontier words from your own INDEPENDENT reading and write out the context (the sentence or 10 words surrounding the frontier word in your book).

2. Provide your own definition of the word (guess!) based on the context.

3. Provide the actual dictionary definition.

4. Write an original sentence of 8+ words using the frontier vocab term. Mimicking the context sentence is a good way to make sure you're using the word correctly.
