Per. 3-Voc. List 1

We're trying a new competition between classes based on this week's vocabulary list:
  1. abhor
  2. abominate
  3. abridge
  4. abstruse
  5. abut
  6. abyss
  7. accolade
  8. adjunct
  9. affidavit
  10. affinity
Here's how it works:

1. Each person will be assigned one vocabulary word from the list in class.
2. Write a sentence (seven words or longer) that uses the word correctly and post it to this blog.
3. We will correct the sentences in class the next day and for each sentence that is correct (usage as well as punctuation), the class gets a point.
4. Students who DO NOT do a sentence will affect the score as each class' score will be a percentage of how many sentences are correct.
5. At the end of the month, the class with the highest score will get a treat!
