Vocab Lists (word)

 

For all of the vocab lists, you need to find the word in the text (there are two versions- make sure you have the right page numbers), copy the sentence that the word is in, then look up the word in a dictionary and write a definition that matches the way the word is used. Definitions in your own words are often better than dictionary definitions.
