Please follow all directions carefully. No credit will be given for any assignment that does not follow all specifications.
Choose ______of the following assignments.. When turning in more than one at a time, all assignments should be stapled together. At the top of each assignment you should label which assignment number it is. Also, you will need to complete a cover sheet and staple it to the top of your packet. You may not do an assignment more than once per nine weeks unless specified. Any writing assignments should demonstrate your knowledge of vocabulary learned in this class and should not involve the use of a dictionary or translator or any unknown vocabulary.
It is expected that you will use correct spelling of all vocabulary words. You have access to your vocabulary lists while completing these assignments and I expect you to work carefully and use the resources available to you. No credit will be given to any assignment with more than 5 misspelled vocabulary words. Please double-check all work!
