Activities include marking syllables, identifying synonyms and antonyms, and crafting creative paragraphs about nature using vocab words. The culmination involves "This I Believe" presentations where students reflect on personal beliefs through quotes from Transcendentalists. A quiz will assess vocabulary comprehension.
