Please learn what these five vocabulary words mean: criticize, cropped, denotation, derivation, description.

No homework--read below, please.

English 7 students have now had 40 vocabulary words. Most of these 40 words have had homework associated with them. We had a test over words 1-20 (which we took twice and the better score was used) and a test over words 21-40, which we took today.

Students have no homework for words 41-60. Students are expected to know what these words mean. I tell students what the word means, and we do activities in class (games) to help learn what each word means; however, for the words 41-60, no homework will be assigned. If students do poorly on the third test, then students will have homework on vocabulary words.
