Vocab Unit 2 Green Class

Post BEFORE CLASS ON FRIDAY ten (10) sentences using ten different vocabulary words correctly, giving a context clue to the meaning of the word within your sentence.

Rows 1-3 should work with words 1-10; rows 4-6 should work with words 11-20.

Your context clue should use restatement, contrast, or inference (see p.7  of your vocab book if you need help with these).

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

e.g. Usually slightly nervous and uncertain, most ninth graders entering St. Mark's are somewhat taciturn during their initial days in school.
