How it works

Students preview 20 words from the reading, each in a sentence that supports understanding.

An optional post-reading quiz uses the same 20 words in excerpts from the text. Use it after reading, or skip it entirely.

Why it works

The pre-reading activity supports comprehension and primes students to notice the words in context. The optional post-reading quiz reinforces the same words while using excerpts from As You Like It.

Highlighted words:
adieu, banish, bequeath, censure, chide, countenance, devise, disdain, disposition, entreat, epilogue, feigned, forbearance, forswear, melancholy, reprove, scarcity, scorn, usurp, yield
Why these 20 words?
