ACTIVITY: Unit 2 Vocab Tracking
Purpose
This repeated activity should help you become familiar with a process for understanding unfamiliar words anytime you encounter them in the course. Recording the words and looking up the definitions will help develop and increase your vocabulary both for this course and for standardized testing.
Process
Take out your Vocab Tracker and be sure to record new and unfamiliar words on it. Remember you can use this tracker for both BHP-specific vocabulary as well as for any words you come across in the course that you have trouble understanding.
