LOOK UP, WRITE "EXTENSIVE" DEFINITIONS
"EXTENSIVE" = find out as much as possible to explain about the word,
    including etymology (word background/history), synonyms, etc.

__   ominous
__   implore
__   ecstatic
__   pervade
__   permeate
__  horde
__  sinuous
__  contort
__  luminous
__  falter
__  grave (NOT the cemetery type, but the "feeling")
__  shudder

EXTRA CREDIT / MAKE UP is based on showing TIME spent on this work.
Be neat and organized. Be thorough.  The more you write, clearly the more time you spent reading, researching a word or the concept or the history of a word.

Sentences help count for points, too.  Use sentences found in definition sources.
