First Period-English IV-1 Assignments

Complete and turn in by midnight Wednesday.

Answer the review questions to help you keep track of the story's events and characters.

Using dictionary.com (recommended site), identify and type each word's definition based on how it is used in the text. Only one definition per word. TURN IT IN; do not email.

For each word in the list, add the definition that best fits how the word is used in the text. If there are multiple definitions, and there often are, the first definition isn't necessarily the one being used. Submit via TURN IT IN, not email.

The student will define the following vocabulary words based on how they are used in the text. This assignment will count as two daily grades.

As usual, you are expected to do your own work. Evidence of using another student's work will have consequences for you and the student who let you use it.
