During this development unit you are going to come across a lot of new vocabulary, some of which you'll know others will be new.
Your task is to:
|
1) Compile a glossary by matching the definition to the key word. The definitions are muddled up in the keyword box below. Once you've chosen the correct definition you cut and paste into the correct box. |
| 2) Then to check your understanding there is an example of this definition. Again select the correct example from the second Keyword box and cut and paste it into the correct place. |
| 3) Ask your teacher to check your work and then print out your completed glossary. You will need to constantly refer to this during the next few lessons. |
