Evaluation
Your Evaluation of this WebQuest will come from the completion of your flashcards. Once you are finished with them, I will evaluate them.
You may NOT use a set of flashcards that are already made on any website, you must make your own!
You will be having a Vocabulary Quiz on Wednesday, so start studying!
Conclusion
We will be using these vocabulary words all unit, and they are a very important piece to this unit, so familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible!
