In Wordly Wise 3000 Book 7, each 15-word lesson begins with an alphabetized Word List that gives pronunciations, parts of speech, and concise definitions, and uses each word in a sentence. Some of the words taught in Book 7 include instigate, luminary, inalienable, accolade, proselytize, indigenous, repast, permeate, desultory, flotilla, secrete, and palatable. Definitions are followed by exercises that distinguish usage, create sentences and phrases, identify synonyms and antonyms, and complete analogies. Narrative topics in this book include: Clowns, The Eiffel Tower, Japanese Internment, Roberto Clemente, Giant Pandas, Elizabeth Bentley, Zora Neale Hurston, Alaska, Human-Powered Flight, Perfume, Potatoes, Primo Levi-Holocaust Survivor, Berea College, Telescopes, Nelson Mandela, Earth Artist- Christo, Women in Baseball, Violins of Cremona, Wilma Mankiller-Cherokee Chief, and Con Artists. |
