=**Student Vocabulary Journals ** = Spring Quarter 2011 You will need to provide 10-15 vocabulary terms per week. You may log words from your textbooks, newspapers, magazines, books, etc. This is due on Fridays (1st one is due April 8 11:59 pm).

On your page you should enter your vocabulary terms in the following format:

Vocabulary Term + Part of Speech + Definition(in your own words) + Sample Sentence Place Found (with link if relevant)

DO NOT SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE FROM A SOURCE! Your definition and sample sentence should be original and your own. You will not learn if you simply copy and paste someone else's words.

I will take vocabulary from journals and add them as bonus questions on quizzes and tests(if we have them). So, it is not only important to know your own, but your classmates as well.
