Create a chart with 6 columns: the word, definition, pronunciation, 2 synonyms, 1 antonym, and other forms. For pronunciation, here are examples: ODIOUS would be pronounced OH-DEE-US; BREVITY would be BREH-VIH-TEE. "Other forms" is how else the word can be used. For example, SATIRE could also be in the form of SATIRICAL. You may have more than one form per word, while some other words may not have any other forms. Dictionary.com or Thesaurus.com will help for all columns.
