English 10

Tonight read Chapter 16.

Also, start collecting your ten useful vocabulary words today.  These words can be from the class novel, your independent novel, newspapers or magazines. Make sure you write the word, its part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb), and its definition.  Do not give slang words (I don't want to know that you can define "twerking") or very specialized scientific words (I do not want to know that you can define "Ileitis: noun. An inflammation of the ileum, due to infection, a tumor, etc. and involving partial or complete blockage of the small intestine").  The point of this exercise is to find useful words that will broaden your vocabulary and help you become better writers and readers.
