Use the words in sentences. Look them up on google to see how they are used.
Figure out some images to connect to the words.
For example:
contention (sounds like the word tension) When we have an "argument" there is stress (tension) so a contention is a problem. A contentious issue is an issue about a problem. For example, those kids who do not like the hat rule have a contention to discuss with the principal.
ominous (has the word omen in it)
complacent (has the word place in it... people who don't want to change their ideas, don't want to "Move" or change places. They are satisfied with their "place" in the world.
Be creative. Have fun.
We will read Act 5 after the test.
