Step 1: Pick two vocabulary words related to this course: (a) One that is academic in nature (e.g. fluency, prosody) and (b) one that might be considered high utility (used for different purposes or across domains like comprehension). (4 points)

Step 2: Use two different strategies to learn the definition (e.g. Frayer model, keyword strategy, structural analysis).  Examples have been provided in the Powerpoint for how to use these strategies, in the text book and in the Reading Rocket link.  You should have two separate papers to turn in. You can hand write it, take a picture or scan it and post it or you can use the computer. (6 points)
