Literature 7 - Tuesday, September 22 - Novel vocab test on genre - dilemma. I only give the students the words, and they have to write out the complete definition for each word. Students were given a hard copy of the vocabulary, and it should be in their literature binders under the "Novel Vocab" tab. It is also posted on the school website under the literature link. I have also posted the words below:
