Unit 1 Flashcards - Identifications

Assignment: For each unit, we will have two sets of flashcards. The first set will focus on just vocabulary terms. The second set will focus on "ID's" - people, places, documents, etc. We will use a very similar rubric that was used for the first set. (see previous vocab. post for assignment). To earn the last two points, the rubric has been changed slightly to student choice of ONE of the following:

• Write a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) correctly using 10 of your vocabulary words.
• 4 corners: write one vocabulary word in each corner of a box. Explain how each pair of words is connected (see four corners activity from class)
