This week

There is a vocabulary quiz on words from parts 2 & 3 of 1984.
Here is the list of all the vocabulary words that were handed out last week. Make sure to follow the directions! Don't forget: vocabulary tests will be comprehensive over the course of the semester. Cramming the night before will not be beneficial in the long run.

Write the definition of each vocabulary word, including the varying definitions. Locate the sentence from the text where the word appears and copy the sentence verbatim.  Write an original sentence using the word that demonstrates your comprehension of the word’s meaning.
