I have spent the evening inputting all of your Mid-Term vocabulary to Studytack.com.
I think you will find the site extremely useful. You can print out flash cards and definitions or play the games and study online.

Here are some of the ways to study and the games you can play (while learning your vocabulary):

Hangman
Word Scramble
Crossword Puzzle
Word Search
Word Matching
Flash Cards
Study Stack
Study Table

You can even export the word list and definitions to your PC, iPod, cell phone, or PDA using this link.

Good luck!

Feel free to email me with questions

Happy studying!

First Project
--------------
A rough draft will be due in class on Friday.

It will be a personal essay of about 5 paragraphs (an introduction, a conclusion, and at least three supporting paragraphs). I will explain more about this in class.

You will use your rough draft to get feedback from your classmates. You will receive a participation grade for the rough draft and for helping other classmates.
