Next, leave me vocabulary comments for bonus points on this week's quiz! Remember:

1. Use at least FIVE vocabulary words. Two of them must be from this week's list.

2. Use your first name and last initial, and do NOT include your email address. Whose class will leave the most comments????

And last but certainly not least, here's a link to a website for some great, get-your-mind-on-words games!
