ENGLISH - HONORS:
Romeo & Juliet Scenes Due November 30th - Be READY!!!!
GO TO THE HANDOUTS SECTION FOR THE WORDS IN CASE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR COPY.
Listen, the vocabulary test scores have been weeeeeeeaaaak! After going over
all these words in class and doing 3 exercises applying them each week, I
want you to reconsider how you typically study for the tests. Don't just
read over the words and definitions. THINK about what they mean. Picture
the opposite; relate the word to other words you know. We need to practice
in a more efficient way. It will save you time in the long run.
Here's our vocabulary word schedule for next week:
