Word Models 
(archetype, supernatural, origins, separation, duality, fate, prophecy, struggle for power)
The model presents the following:

* a synonym (what it is)

* a symbol (nonlinguistic representation)

* a sentence containing the word/concept
On the back of your paper, write the definition (meaning) of the word.

Word Model Criteria:

* They’ll need to be a size we can carry with us.
* The information will need to be clear so that we can use them in our reading, writing, and discussions.
* They will need to be organized and clear.
* They will need to present the meaning of the key word in different ways—a synonym and antonym, a sentence, a symbol,

and a definition.
