English 10 and 12

There isn't much homework except that all my classes will be collecting five vocabulary words and their definitions and bring them to class on Tuesday.  These words have to be good, academic words that you think you can use in your future school work.  Please avoid slang terms like "twerk" and "selfie".  Also eschew words that are so ancient or scientific in nature that you would be hard-pressed to find a use for them (i.e. "sanguinolency" or "sporange").  Just for your information, the first means an addiction to bloodshed and the second is a spore on the back of a particular kind of fern.  Now that I think of it, sanguinolency could be a pretty useful word; too bad it is defunct.

This vocabulary assignment will be a weekly task.
