Game Time! Padlet Post
I will spin the wheel of multiple meaning words. Whatever multiple meaning word it lands on is the word you have to use in an example sentence. You will type your sentence on a padlet post. Remember to be a good digital citizen and think before you post.

Coding and Multiple-Meaning Words
Dr. Wise has traveled to multiple-meaning words light and squash. When she stopped on light, she wrote two different sentences using the word light. You can see that light has multiple meanings. Finish the algorithm so that Dr. Wise visits each word and writes two different sentences with each multiple-meaning word. Look at how she wrote sentences for light and squash for help.
