Spelling Skills # 8 - Mapping Vocabulary

Mapping vocabulary exercise:
Remember * use * understand

The exercise below will help you remember, use and understand a vocabulary word.
The one strategy missing is to draw a picture or illustrate the word after you print the map with the word's definition, synonyms, use in a sentence, and even its translation in another language!

Text of exercise:
This exercise will help you remember, use and understand a vocabulary word. One strategy of more fully understnading a vocabulary word or term is to build out is usage. 
As an exercise, define your word, find synonyms and antonyms, use it in a sentence, and even translate it into another language you are familiar with.  Another strategy is to capture or draw your own images of the word, or your interpretations of it.
