Instructions 

 Instructions for various assignments in this course:
Vocabulary:   Write the vocabulary word (1 point), its definition (1 point), then use the work in a correct sentence (correct context, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization) (1 point minus 1 point for each spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization error, this means you can have a negative vocabulary total!)  No points will be given for sentences that are not contextually correct.
