Weekly Homework

Hi Students,

Don't forget that your homework for this class every week is to write sentences with the 10 words from our vocabulary list. We'll study the words in class all week, so I suggest that you wait until Thursday or Friday to do this homework. By that time, you'll probably understand the words well and be able to write the sentences more easily.

If you have any questions about this homework, please ask me!
Liz
