Where do I keep my vocabulary homework? - All vocabulary homework MUST
be done in your SPIRAL NOTEBOOK! The notebook must be kept in your binder at
all times. I can ask to check your progress on your vocabulary homework on any
day of the week so be sure to have it with you!

being read. Sometimes the words will be assigned to you.

this new word.
3rd – Write the dictionary definition for each word. – I recommend using
dictionary.com to located the definitions.
4th – Identify at least two synonyms for each word.
5th – Create a new sentence for each word. This should be your creative sentence.
