I want my fourth grade students to find definitions in their textbooks rather than me writing the definition out for them. Sometimes the definition is written in the text rather than the glossery or dictionary. What is the best way to teach them to find the definition of a word for themselves? Any suggestions would be great. BTW, I am a six week old teacher (in other words, a newbie) so ya'll (sorry, I live in Oklahoma) experienced teachers just pour it on for me.

I'm sure phrasing my question as a dare will get me more than a few sarcastic answers, but hey.
According to Merriam-Webster online, the word of the day is "bodacious" (adjective).

Definition 1: "Southern and Midland": outright, unmistakable
Definition 2: remarkable, noteworthy*
Definition 3: sexy, voluptuous

Example Sentence:
"Bears are not picky eaters especially in the spring, after they wake up from their winter hibernation with a bodacious appetite." -- George Osgood, "Star-Gazette" [Elmira, New York], May 12, 2007

Have fun, thanks for playing! The user with the most COMICAL sentence will get the 10!


*also, Yahoo!Answers needs to add this word to their dictionary!

If not then are there any colleges that I can go to. where I dont have to take math, english, history etc. you see the reason I ask is i'm plainly not smart enough if I went to a college to pass anything but music, this is why I ask because I do not want to throw away money knowing I couldnt make it through college, and basicly it would defeat my whole point in going to further my education of music.

2. Algebra: What is natural order?
3. English: T/F the subject of a sentence is always the noun at the beginning of the sentence.
4. Spanish: Translate to Spanish- Hello! Good morning! How are you? I am a serious worker, but I also am funny. I am not lazy. I am very ambitious. I am nice too. Where are you from? America? Me too. See you later!
5. Human geography: An radio transmission area is an example of a...
6. Theology: T/F (if false, give correct answer) The Bible is mainly concerned with Moral truths.
-Alternate question (Grammar): list the definition of each of these prefixes/roots: Poly, Anthro, Morph, Dei, Ambul.

well the topic is very shakey and very confusing about what happened on 911. after reports came out abotu what had happened there were experts who contradicted it sayign it was an inside job by the government.

as part of my homework for a school debate my question that i cant answer is why would they do it? for business $$$$$???

how has the US government profited from 911 like saying how much money have tey made in iraq afghanistan and stuff?

i would appreciate if the question was answered rather than ppl flocking to claim it wasnt an inside job. i dont care i just need logic rather than emotion thank you.

i have a debate tomorow and i need to know
1. why did tehy do it...was it for business$$$?
if so how have they profited and how much have they profited?
