Complete the following work in a separate homework folder. Organize the work by section. Clearly
underline titles and defined words.
You are responsible for the vocabulary in each section. However, you only need to define those terms not already
completed in class. With the exception of starred (*) words definitions for the vocabulary can be found in the text
glossary. Put the definitions in your own words and include an example for each term. Starred words will be
defined in class.
Complete all comparisons.
At the end of every concept within the text there is a summary --use these as guides for forming concept maps or
study notes.
Schedule how you approach this work according to your individual needs. Be sure not to leave all the work to the
end of the week!
Extra help is offered during lunch. It is your responsibility to ask for help when needed.
