10-second review: How increase students’ vocabularies? Expand on words; come up with words related in some way to the target word. Example: apostatized—abandon an organization or cause. Other, related words: ostracize, emigrate, secede, blackball, blacklist, boycott, exile, banish, deport, expel, expatriate, shun, etc.
