1415 Words of the Week 4 Aug 25-29
“3x&Sx2” means (1) you write the word 3 times on a line. (2) On the next 2 lines you write 2 sentences with word properly
used in each different sentence with correct punctuation and the word underlined. The sentence must be such that I can see you
know the definition and how to use the word correctly. A poorly done 3x&Sx2 will result in 10 points being deducted from
your spelling test. A 3x&Sx2 that is not done will result in 20 points being deducted from your spelling test.
If “B&D” are beside a proper noun, it refers to “birth and death dates.” Write the name 3 times and the birth and death dates.
No sentences are required.
If “St, L & L” are beside location (say a battlefield), it means write the word 3 times and then the STate and the Latitude
(format: N 35º- 15’- 14”) and Longitude (format: W 18°- 43’- 18”) of the location. If there is no state (L&L), just give the
latitude and longitude. No sentences are required.
