Hey guys, we pretty much spent all class period yesterday going over vocabulary, so PLEASE read your books and be prepared to write a summary! I know a lot of you will be on spring break this week, so at least take some time out to read the book. The main purpose isn't just for you to understand the material, it's also to train you guys to increase your reading speed without sacrificing comprehension. We will go over reading strategies soon, because on the SAT, the reading portion has extremely long passages.
The vocabulary for this week is: (this set of words is fairly common)
ambiguous
ambivalent
apathetic
capricious
equivocal
erratic
impetuous
impetus
please define these words for next week!
Remember. Read your books!!
