MONDAY: DEFINITIONS
Instructions: Use a dictionary (online or regular). Write each word from the list and it's definition. Sorry, no typing on this assignment. If it has more than one definition, write the first one or a definition that you think might tie in with how we'd use it at school. Vocabulary definitions are due Tuesdays.
 
TUESDAY: SENTENCES
Neatly write your own sentence for each of this week's vocabulary words. Underline each vocabulary word in the sentence. Make sure that your sentences make sense and show your understanding of the word's meaning. Review each word's spelling, shared definition (from in class Tuesday mornings), and parts of speech for Wednesday's pretest.
 
WEDNESDAY: 5 X EACH
Write each word/definition that you missed on the pretest five times correctly. The part of speech is considered part of the definition. 
 
THURSDAY: Study for Friday's final vocabulary test! If you earned 100% on Wednesday's pretest, you will not have to retake it!
