**"Myriad Operations" Week 4 Words**
You will have a choice this week when practicing the use of this week's words. On Monday, 2-11-13, we will have a lesson that analyzes how a news article is organized. You will be allowed to use these words to write a news article of your own. If you choose to write a news article that correctly uses these words, then that article will take the place of the usual assignment below. Plus, if you show mastery of both skills, you will receive a 100 daily grade coupon. If you can use the words AND write the article about an event from __A Separate Peace__, then you can receive up to 10 bonus points on the grade. Articles must be submitted to [|www.turnitin.com]. Keep in mind that you do not HAVE to write a news article. If you do not, then you are still responsible for the normal week 4 vocabulary homework assignment below.
