         **Welcome to the Word Masters wiki page!** 

 This is a place where we work collaboratively to learn the Word Masters vocabulary. We will be completing word webs to help us learn each of the 25 words. Since we're working together, each student only needs to complete some of the webs to share with the rest of the class. Your first step is to watch this voice thread to see how to complete the word web."

   **Now you need to __complete your own web__ for each of your assigned words.** You should use your paper copy of the web to help you plan each vocabulary word. Use your dictionary resources (see below) to: 
 *             **define** your word;   [[image:lWMogo_red.gif align="right"]]
 *                              identify **parts of speech**;
 *                      find **related words**; and
 *                      **create a sentence** to help us understand your word.
