Great Sentences

Today we continued to focus on the new vocabulary. Here are a few sample sentences that my classes came up with for the words:

1. The United Kingdom’s empire stretched from Africa to UK and Western Canada.
2. The people of Babylon, the capital of the Babylonian Empire, had great wealth and lived luxurious lives.
3. Caravans could travel to colder climates once they discovered how to use fire. As the caravan of camels traveled, they stopped at an oasis.
4. The bazaar we visited carried all types of goods including: food, cloth, pottery, and other household materials.
5. The Persian Empire practiced a religion called Zoroastrianism and were monotheistic (worshipped only one god).

We discussed the qualities which make a good sentence and the ways that students can prove mastery of vocabulary.
