Substitute a Word and Write 3 Sentences for Vocab

Need a great way to remember the definition of vocab words?  I'll bet you do. Here's what to do: Find 2 synonyms (that you're familiar with) for each vocabulary word (thesaurus.com works well!) and write three sentences with each.

For instance, the vocabulary word "paltry" is synonymous with "tiny" and "meager". Write the same sentence three times using your vocab words and the synonyms: "He gave me a tiny scoop of ice cream. He gave me a meager scoop of ice cream. He gave me a paltry scoop of ice cream." On vocab quiz day, you'll be able to remember how to use the vocab word because you'll recall the sentence.
