October/November

Vocabulary:  Unit 1

Vocabulary Test will be on Monday, November 4. 

You will be responsible to learn the vocabulary words in Unit 1.  The unit starts on page 21 of your Vocabulary Workshop Level D Vocabulary book.  You may use the exercises in the book for practice or you may want to create notecards to learn the words.  Do not just study the definitions of each word; you must also know parts of speech, synonyms, and antonyms.  Remember, do not write in the book.
