Assignment
You will be writing a sentence using each vocabulary word on our list. That is a total of 22 sentences.
The Rules: Must be able to tell what the word means from the
sentence. You may use more than one sentence to show what a
word means. You can’t just give the definition in a sentence. You may change part of speech or tense, if done
correctly! Underline the vocabulary word in your sentence.
