24. Vocab Unit 36-- Assignment
We could do Vocabulary Squares again…
But I will accept flash cards with the word on one side and the definition/part of speech/synonyms/sentence instead.
You can use index cards, copy paper, or notebook paper. Or…a digital alternative?
If you have your own method of studying besides flash cards, you can check with me and I may accept that instead. Or maybe not.
No, “nothing” is not a viable study method, sorry.
