Midterm Review

Task(Honors): From each of the themes given below create a paragraph using three – four of the terms completed in the vocabulary to describe the main idea / theme. You are to choose EIGHT of the themes to write a paragraph on. You can also develop you own theme paragraph using vocabulary terms you choose. The key to this exercise is to create a paragraph connecting the vocab words in a detailed description of the concept. I’ve given several vocab words you can use or you can pull in other vocab words that you choose. Try to create a “connecting” paragraph rather than a group of vocab words, instead of just defining the vocab in the paragraph.
