Do you know the definition for the New Word of the Day, which is “Alliance”?

Pronounced: [uh·lai·uhns]

A union or association formed for mutual benefit, especially between countries or organizations

  • For example, during World War II the main Axis alliance consisted of Germany, Japan, and Italy
  • An example of a strategic alliance between companies is Starbucks and Barnes & Noble where you can go into a Noble bookstore and buy a light snack and drink from the Starbucks restaurant

So, Homeschoolers: sketch an illustration and describe what the word ‘alliance’ means to you.
