Give students time to play with the words:

 * 2-Square:
 * Write synonyms--words that mean the same.
 * Write examples/scenarios/situations that illustrate the word. For example, for //sagacious// (which means //wise)//, they might write //a judge//, //Solomon//, //jeopardy winner// (the game show).
 * Draw a pic.
 * Let students share with a partner to see if the partner can guess the word.
 * Repeat, until students have had an opportunity to play with several words.

 * Remind them that the vocab videos are simply applications of the words--the actors act out a scenario that illustrates the meaning of a word.
 * Require each group to use the word in a sentence in their skit or story.
