Directions for WINDOW PANES ( due every Wednesday):
1.Divide an index card into quarters.
2.place the term your are describing in the middle.
3.In the top left square describe the term using your own words.
4.In the top right square use the term in a sentence, a grammatically correct sentence.
5.In the bottom right square give an illustration of the term, anything you picture when you think of the term. An example would be drawing a ruler or calculator for the term "data". If you are not comfortable with drawing, you can create a multiple choice question for the term. You need to have 3 answer choices per question.
6.In the bottom left square give a synonym or antonym for the term. Any word that has a similar ( or opposite) meaning or use as the one you are working on.

DON'T PUT THIS OFF UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, THEY TAKE MORE TIME THAN YOU THINK.

ALWAYS CARRY EXTRA NOTE CARDS WITH YOU TO CLASS JUST IN CASE YOU GET TIME TO WORK ON THEM!
