Using A Dictionary - A Dictionary Scavenger Hunt
Students don't use the dictionary as often as they should. Part of the reason, I believe, is because they don't know how and they don't really know what's in there.

I start the activity with some basic instruction about guide words, pronunciation guides, and what is meant by parts of speech. I then provide students with a dictio
