Definitions

Void: an empty space or vacuum. Fluorescent: able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat, light, or other form of energy Vulnerable: able to be hurt or injured Interconnected: to connect or cause to be connected one to the other or others. Seldom: not often; rarely.

Example/Non Example	Is a void messy? Why or why not?	A void is not messy because it is an empty space  completely blank meaning that it is is impossible to mess up only if you deliberately made it messy making it not a void
	Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?	Neon because it sticks out in the dark of the night and helps at night on signs so people can see
	Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?	Because of old age they are less stable and balance is shaky and on the other hand kids are full of energy and life because they have much to look forwards and can move more freely
	Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?	A vine because it is connected to the ground pull a dandelion easily pull out
	Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?	The olympic because it happens every four year well a election is every three years

Word Associations	The plants in the garden are die during a frost	Vulnerable
	There were lots of different paths that joined each other	Interconnected
	I made a shot from halfway while facing backwards.	Seldom
	We are still exploring  outer space.	Void
	I can find my key ring easily in the dark.	Fluorescent

Word Relationships How might each pair of words be connected?	Vulnerable/Fluorescent	They are similar because  the use of Fluorescent is sometimes to prevent injures so people will see the the stop signs (in brightly colored sign) and stop.
	Void/interconnected	They are similar because in a blank space there is always a connection to the void connecting to something else.

Extended Writing	Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
	One time at night I looked through a telescope and there was no stars and all I could see was the dark of the night (void) and it just black not the thee moon or a star to be seen.
