You will use the following table to keep track of vocabulary from the novel. There will be three mini-quizzes on these words during this unit. You need to use the dictionary at http://www.bartleby.com/ to search for the parts of speech and definitions for each of your vocabulary words. You will copy and paste this information into your table. The association column will be of your own creation.
