All 29 definitions are pre-filled in the vocabulary chart, so students can complete the synonym and sentence activities even before or after reading. The \"Page #\" column in the chart is for students to locate each word in their copy of the story as they read, but it's optional — the other activities work independently of the text.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs there an answer key for the synonyms and sentence writing activities?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo — and that's by design.

Any accurately synonymous word is acceptable for the synonym column, and any sentence that correctly uses the word in context works for the sentence column. For grading guidance: synonyms should be close in meaning (not just the same word form) and sentences should demonstrate understanding of the definition, not just use the word superficially.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eAll 29 words appear in the crossword and word search?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNot all 29, no — the activities use a subset.
