Projects and Due Dates

$100.00 Words

• For every $100.00 Word  you find in school or at home your group will earn valuable table/group points


• Strategies like using a computer search engine, or finding someone else to do the work for you, suffer from two serious drawbacks. The point of the exercise is to give you a lot of practice adding up numbers and learning new words.  Having someone else give you the words, or even adding up the scores for your guesses, is a little like asking someone else to practice a skateboarding trick, write and memorize a speech, dribble a soccer ball, or take batting practice for you. It's not going to do you much good.
