ESPN: B. 1) Using ESPN, write each vocabulary word in the correct category on the Chart on the back page. WORDS NOT WRITTEN ON THE CHART ITSELF WILL NOT BE GRADED – PERIOD. 2) Choose ONE RELATIONSHIP (below) which best represents how/why your word fits into a particular category. Choose your relationship FIRST, and then locate the category (it will be the same category where your word example is found). Also, always remember context (how the word is used in a certain passage or situation) is king! See the example on the ESPN Chart—the first one is done for you.
