A vocabulary study sheet will be handed out on Monday during class. It details 5 main vocabulary words that we will focus on this week, and which will be assessed on Friday. I have attached a copy here as well. Included are some graphics and explanations that could help understand each word. Although we will be using the words frequently in class, be sure to study them for a few short minutes every night! These words are also being added to the glossary section of my website.
