Vocabulary Words of the Week!

I have started a new initiative at Fitzgerald this year.  Each Monday we will announce the two vocabulary words of the week, give a definition, and use the word in a sentence.  We will post the words and information on the windows looking into the library.  By the end of the year we will have many new words added to our vocabularies!  Last week's words were "vocabulary" and "dictionary".  This week's words?

Thesaurus: a book of words and their synonyms
When I am looking for another word with the same meaning, I go to the library and check the thesaurus.

Genre: a particular type or category of literature
Each month I am interested in learning about the elements of a new genre when I visit the library.
