4th period assignment

 


Yes, we’re doing TWO computer assignments today. 

 
Go to your Google Drive and open a new “slides” (the icon is yellow).
 
Open a new tab and search for “define” and your vocab word. (See below.)

On slide one, copy and paste the definition for the word from the Merriam-Webster dictionary (you might have to go down lower on the page). 
One slide two, copy and paste the definition for the word from the Oxford dictionary.

PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes words have more than one meaning. Since we are talking about fake news, if your word was “troll,” would you copy the definition that said “(in folklore) an ugly creature depicted as either a giant or a dwarf” or the one that says “A person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post”? Hopefully you know it’s the second one. 

 
On the third slide, paraphrase what you think it means in your own words. Don’t copy anything for this — just say how YOU would describe it to a friend. 
 
Finally, on the fourth slide, use it in a sentence. 
 
Then click “share” and type in my address (kara-synhorst@scusd.edu)
