This week for Reading, Mr Wong's groups read The Robber's mask. To make the session more fun we played a game. Our group was split into 2 teams. As a group we had to skim and scan for words through the text and list them. Then we had about 5 minutes to find a definition for every word. This was kind of easy for our group because everyone had a computer and we had dictionary and thesaurus sites provided to help us. Then we played our game. Each group had turns naming a word they listed and giving the definition. If the judge, Mr Wong allowed it you would get a trade for an iceblock stick. The point of the game is to get 6 iceblock sticks of the same color. If the opponent adds to the definition they would also get a trade. We had lots of fun getting competitive and finding new words we didn't know before. In the end, our group got 6 Red iceblock sticks for our team. We used great sportsmanship during that game. For our must do, we had to list down every definition, synonym and antonym for each word in 1 group slide.

Cool post, Angari. Are the definitions of these words dictionary definitions, or personal definitions (in your own words)?
