Vocabulary Warm-up: Exploring Evanescent, Negligible, Capitulate, and Incessant

For instance, 'evanescent' describes something fleeting and momentary, while 'negligible' refers to a flaw of little importance. Additionally, students are prompted to underline unrelated words, complete synonyms, and use each vocabulary word in sentences to deepen their understanding. This exercise promotes vocabulary development and contextual usage.
