Here are our new Vocab procedures, starting with List #5:
  1. Click on this week's list below.
  2. LOG IN to StudyStack.
  3. By this Friday, complete three of the activities at the bottom AND take the "Test" (one of the buttons at the bottom).  I won't record this grade until you do three activities and the Test.  If you don't get them finished by this Friday, it's too late.
  4. If you don't get at least 90% on the test, do it again until you do.
You don't need to screenshot anything.
