Using a Dictionary

Learning is fun when we do  it together, but there are times when we just need to do it alone.  Today learning alone is really easy with the help of the internet and a computer, but sometimes we need to know some of the old school ways of lookig up information.  Our lesson today is about using the dictionary.  ESL students are often allowed to use a dictionary on tests like the PSSA, and it can really be helpful.  The sad news is that a lot of us just don't use it enough or don't know how to use it.  Because it can be a big help we're going to take a closer look on how to use this old-school tool for getting information.
