Word of the Week -1/10/2011

The word of the week this week is:






Wait for it......


Can you guess?



Are you on the edge of your seat?







 anticipate !

Anticipate means to give advance thought to, await, hope or watch for.

I think this might be a great word to use during reading....what things can students anticipate before reading the whole story?  Are there things they look forward to in their own lives?  What happens when we anticipate something and it does not turn out the way we had expected?
