•	Have your partner write the word in the correct column in his/her 
notebook.
•	Check to see that your partner spelled the word correctly and make 
sure your partner placed the    
        word in the correct column.

you to stop.

IF YOU FINISH EARLY: You may…

•	Use a dictionary to look up the meaning of any unfamiliar words, and 
record their definitions in 
        your notebook.

words, and record 
        them in your notebook.
