ReplyDeleteExcellent, Mahera.

ReplyDeletesection
ReplyDeleteso were # 73-79
ReplyDeletei think we already did some of the vocab words
ReplyDelete-Emily
Yes i was about to say the same thing as Emily. So do we do them again, or do we skip those?
ReplyDeleteDo not do the words that are the same as the ones in another handout. We are at the tail-end of the short story unit that's why our words are overlapping. Just do the ones that are new on this list.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can post the words here right away - those that are new - you get an extra credit. 8=)
Ms.Terry, the words we did already are:
ReplyDeleteprim
spruce
billow

ReplyDeleteThese are the new words that are not in the sentence homework.
ReplyDeleteanguish
distracted
adulation
askew
garret
According to Avery's list, there are 8 already done previously therefore you will only work with 12 words or less. Some of the words are on the sentence assignment.
ReplyDeleteFor the test, is it going to be a comparison test, or like questions on each story? and, the are the questions going to be over vocabulary too? so do we just study vocab, or scan the stories?
ReplyDeleteFavi, I think I am a little late responding to your inquiry. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, are you asking about the quiz this coming Monday or the test I gave you today?
