Seniors Purple Vocab
Choose two vocab words from the list you were given on Friday in class. Write sentences, using these those words correctly, giving clues to the meaning of the words without actually defining them. Of course, identify yourself according to your initials.Here's an example sentence using the word "coalition": Finding strength in numbers, we formed a coalition to demand better food service at our college's cafeteria.
Your two words should be completely different from the two words chosen by the person sitting directly next to you on BOTH sides. Talk to him or her to make sure.
Your test will be comprised of your classmates' sentences, assuming they're good enough.
