Vocabulary By CQ

So an example sentence on the board would be:

Sam cut a "swath" across the pasture as he ran from the monster. Swath must mean.....

Then an example definition would be:

What is it? a route or track you take
What's it like? wide, straight, planned
What are some examples? trail, path, track

A swath is a wide, straight, planned route you take. Some examples are a trail, a path, or a track.

The goal would be for students to see that Sam ran across the pasture and the path he left was easily visible. He "mowed" down the grass to get away.
