Assignment:You will use a marble notebook (the same one you use for Newsworthy Articles) to keep your dictionary. Allocate two pages for each letter (you could use less for q,x,z,etc.) and ,if possible, put tabs for easy access to the letters.

Osteopathology - syllables: osteo = bone path = disease of ology = study of the study of diseases of the bone.** Dictionary meaning - The study of diseases of the bone. Your dictionary will not be complete until the end of the school year because you will be required to add words to it as we begin a new unit in biology and read a new book, story, or poem in English. Your assignment for tonight is to create your book including a page for each letter. Place the following words in it using the above format.
For each biological word ( # 1-6, 13 - 18). Find the page(s) in your textbook where it is found and write the page number and chapter title under your definition. You will take an "open dictionary" quiz each marking period in both English and Biology. This is your chance to really get a good grade - don't get lazy! Have fun Mr./Ms. Webster!
