Composition
1. Tonight and all this week - study the vocabulary for the final! Here's how to do it: On the sheet of Cornell notes where you copied down the vocab words, copy down the definition of the word from your Vocab Power Plus book. Then draw a picture that shows the definition - this will help you remember the word. Finally, make flash cards for each word with the word on one side (with the picture!) and the definition on the other side. Test yourself. Click here for the list of words.
