Homework for Monday

Start a vocabulary journal in a notebook for this class.
After each vocabulary item, do the following...
1. Write the closest translation in your first language
2. Write a personal sentence using the vocabulary in English

You should start with the 24 important science vocabulary (analysis-volcano) and continue to the 8 words we studied in the last class (subsequently-decades).

Here are a couple of examples with Russian as a first language.

  • Subsequently - Впоследствии, I trained English teachers in Russia and subsequently became an English teacher at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse.
  • Analysis - Анализ, As a teacher I have to do a lot of classroom analysis.

Bring the notebook to class as evidence. I will not collect it on Monday. I will only collect the notebook twice, before spring break and before the last day of class. This vocabulary journal is for you to study from as we will have vocabulary quizzes about 4 times a month.
