
Please print out the attached Vocabulary & Concepts for Unit 3. There are approximately
113 terms/concepts. This is to give you a more specific idea of what we will cover during
the next 4 (or so) weeks.

Keeping a notebook would be a great idea.

This should be in it (right after the General Outline for Unit 3)!!!
We will begin Unit 3 in depth this week.
By the end of the Unit, I expect you to have defined all of the vocabulary. You may begin this
week if you would like. If you don't have a book, you may, of course, use the internet. You MUST
know the vocabulary so you will understand the questions that will be asked of you as the year
goes on.
When defining, number each term/concept & double space
between each. Go in order & don't skip a word. Type all
terms/concepts & number each whether you actually type the
definition or not!!! Follow the way it is set up in the
attachment...EXACTLY!!!
The VocabularyAssignment for Unit 3 will be due in Week
15...you will get directions in Week 15 as to how to turn it in!!!
