In this lesson, we explore important vocabulary words through relatable contexts. A "pact" is an agreement where partners promise to take specific actions, as seen with Rob and Leron on their science project. The term "queasy" describes the uneasy feeling in your stomach, experienced by Earl during a surprise quiz. "Foisted" refers to something imposed on someone unwillingly, like Dan doing the dishes when his brother is sick. We also analyze a "venture," like the brothers selling frozen pizzas, and emotions like feeling "annoyed," as Rachel did with Mary’s spill. Finally, we discuss "depriving," where someone is kept from having something, exemplified by Karl and the cake.
