Vocabulary
Directions: Each week you have a vocabulary assignment to do from your vocabulary book: Vocabulary for the College-Bound
Student. The assignment is due by Friday of that week (except where noted). The assignment includes learning the words and
definitions on the assigned pages, and completing the assigned exercises. In addition, you must design one test question using
words from the assignment. The test question must be designed from your own imagination–not taken from the exercises in the
vocabulary book. Examples of the types of test questions you can design are given below. Vocabulary tests will be given approximately every three weeks, and semester final exams will include sections on vocabulary.

an original, not copied from one of the exercises in
the vocabulary book.

something has been omitted. Beneath the sentence
