Vocab quiz and more notetaking

Today in Humanities, students took their vocab/spelling quiz over the UN words. Then, they received their new vocabulary words for the week. The vocabulary words for the week are:

Bene= good
1. benediction-n- a blessing
2. beneficiary-n- one who benefits from something
3. benign-adj- showing kindness and gentleness
4. benefaction-n- a gift or donation
5. benefactor-n- one who gives a gift or benefit to someone
6. beneficial-adj- allowing someone to receive an advantage
7. benevolent-adj- marked by goodness or goodwill
8. benefit-v- to receive an advantage

We used the computers and visited the library to continue to gather sources and take notes. Notes from 2 different sources are due tomorrow. Then, we visited the book fair and students had the chance to purchase books. We'll also be visiting the fair on Thursday if students did not bring money today.

HOMEWORK: Vocabulary pictures for this week's BENE words. Bring in notes from 2 sources tomorrow. If you have more than two different sources, that is fine.
