Post (over this weekend) ten (10) sentences using ten different vocabulary words correctly, giving a context clue to the meaning of the word within your sentence.

Your context clue should use restatement, contrast, or inference (see pp. 9-10 of your vocab book if you need help with these).

Of course, identify yourself according to your first name, last initial, and section color.
