Chapter 12 Summary and 5 New Words, Definitions and Parts of Speech.

We had to read beyond Chapter 12 to answer the questions on the Study Guide. Therefore, writing a one page summary of the events in Chapter 12 should be fairly simple. You do not need to do Quarter Notes for Chapter 12. Read the chapter, find 5 words you are unsure of and write the definition and the part of speech. Write a neat, well-organized summary of the chapter in your vocabulary notebook.
