The Vocabulary Glossary Project in 9th grade Language Arts is designed to enrich your vocabulary through a semester-long assignment. You will collect unfamiliar words encountered in reading and discussions, document their meanings, and use them appropriately. This project aims to foster strong study habits, enhance understanding of texts, and develop lifelong learning skills. Throughout the semester, your glossary will be checked three times, and the final submission, due on June 5, must contain at least 100 words in the correct format. Keep your glossary for future reference!
