Vocabulary Enricher

263/280 pages

                       So, this time I decided to be the Vocabulary Enricher. My job was basically to look for important words, or words that I don't know. I was supposed to mark the page and paragraph and write down the definition. I also picked five of my favorite words and wrote a sentence. Enjoy! :)
