Our Things Fall Apart vocabulary study begins today.  Each week you will have ten vocabulary words to study.  I have already defined the words for you, although you are welcome to look up alternative definitions.  Please be familiar with the different forms of each word.  For example the word "contempt" is defined as a noun on your TFA Vocabulary List 1, but you should also be familiar with the adjectival form of the word: contemptible.  In addition to a weekly vocabulary quiz you will also have to write a creative paragraph using all ten words.  This paragraph is due on Tuesday.  If you need help using these words in sentences, I would recommend you look on the website: www.yourdictionary.com.  This website, not only defines words, but it also gives you sample sentences.  Knowing this, you are NOT allowed to use the sentences posted on www.yourdictionary.com in your paragraph, because that would be PLAGIARISM. Use the website and sample sentences as a resource; then come up with your own original paragraph.
