14. Receiving your homework
Once your vocabulary homework has been graded I will pass it back
Make corrections to the answers you missed so you can learn the words and definitions correctly
I do not give credit for corrections, but it will help you study for the quiz

15. Studying for the vocab quiz
Don’t try to study all in one night
Find a study method that works for you
Spend at least 10 to 20 minutes each day reviewing your words
Try to use your words in your assignments or when answering questions
Repetition and understanding is key to learning vocabulary
Once the word is natural to you and you can use it – you won’t forget it
