Conclusion
Once you have mastered the "must-haves", you can concentrate on style:
Diction, sentence variety, synonyms, insight, expand your use of punctuation.
We also added two new words:
5. permeate
6. inadvertent, inadvertently
We had a quiz on the first 6 words. Be sure to practice.
Next week, we will use a site called Quizlet to practice our vocabulary.
