Vocabulary 1-30 from Hiroshima
Remember that vocabulary goes in the second half of your composition book and your
responses to writing prompts go in the front. (If you are new to the class, ask someone to
show you how the composition book is set up.)
Here is how each vocabulary entry should look:
word (part of speech)
definition – Make sure that your definition fits the way the
word is used in the sentence below. Check your definitions
with a partner on the day that I stamp your vocabulary. Ask
me if you are unsure. I will take off points on the vocabulary
test if your definition is incorrect.
Sentence in which the word appears in the text, written in its entirety. Go on-line to search
