Study for Unit 3 Vocab Test

Most of you did really well on the spelling portion of your Vocab Practice Test this past Monday. Which means that you only have to focus on doing just as well on the definition portion this Friday. Use your flashcards that you made to help study and if you need any extra hints on how to remember a word, whether its the spelling or definition, ask me before the test :)
