Here is your newest set of vocabulary words! Click HERE to access Vocab Unit 11!
Your assignment is to write the new words in your vocab journal, then find a match for our new words using words from our previous units. What I mean by "a match" is either a synonym or an antonym. Only use ONE word from this unit and match it to ONE word from an older unit. Be sure to explain the match (e.g., "these two words are synonyms, and they both mean..."). You only need to do ONE match then post it here. If someone has already taken your match, then try again. You have until Wednesday, 3/2, at 7 a.m. (Period 2 - you need to work quickly). Once we have all the matches done, and we discuss them, you will add them in our vocab journals.
YOU ALSO NEED TO BRING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERAS AND CORDS FOR OUR VOCAB SCAVENGER HUNT ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY (3/2 and 3/3)!
