I would do this by using context clues.
Example: This stupendous car is faster than anyone else's car!
If it is faster than anyone else's car than you can infer that stupendous means really good cause of the way it is used.
The Space Race
The wonderful space race, beginning in 1955 and lasting until 1975 was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union where they were trying to achieve superiority in spaceflight. The competition between the U.S and the Soviet Union began in 1955 when the U.S announced their intention to launch artificial satellites, and four days later the Soviet Union announced that they would also be launching a satellite(s) “in the near future”
In October 1957 the USSR achieved the first successful satellite launch, as well as in April 1961 sent the first human into orbit beating the U.S in first human into orbit which took place in May 1961. Shortly after the U.Ss first human launch, John F. Kennedy proceeded to raise the stakes and asked the U.S Congress to commit to the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely. Both the U.S and the Soviet Union then proceeded to develop super heavy lift launch vehicles, and later in July of 1969 Apollo 11 proceeded to launch and land man on the moon, the USSR pursued two crewed lunar programs but failed to beat the U.S in first man on the moon, and later began to concentrate on Salyut which was the first space station program.
Answer:
An educational excursion is a study trip or research trip, in which students leave the school building to develop educational and learning activities in a different environment, usually related to the subject on which the excursion has reason. Thus, for example, an excursion to a museum can be part of the curriculum of the history subject, where the teacher transfers his students to a different environment so that they can make direct contact with the topic to be addressed in class.
Excursions, in general, are excellent educational experiences, as they are efficient ways of establishing knowledge since the student relates the subject studied with the lived experience, which facilitates their understanding of the topic and their fixation of knowledge.
Answer:
Sounder tells the story of an African American boy, his family, and their beloved coonhound. As in author William H. Armstrong's book, none of the main charac- ters has a name-except the dog, Sounder.
" 'Sounder and me must be about the same age,' the boy said, tugging gently at one of the coon dog's ears, and then the other," the book tells us as it introduces this canine who is named for his bark that resonates across the countryside when he trees a raccoon or opossum.
Sounder is not a true story, but it is an accurate piece of historical fiction about a black sharecropper's family in the southern area of the United...
The boy hears his father may be in Bartow and later Gilmer counties, but the author does not specify where the boy lives. Sounder won the Newbery Award in 1970 and was made into a major motion picture in 1972.
ExplPatterned after a story told to Armstrong by an older school-teacher, the novel is concerned, in part, with the family's loyal coon dog named Sounder—named for his resonant howl that reverberates across the country-side—whose fate in many ways parallels the life of the narrator's unjustly treated father.
