Big Bad List of Terms

Big Bad List of Terms Assignment: Red, Yellow, and Green: Color coordinate the list of terms based on what you absolutely know, what you think you know and what you don’t know. When determining what color you should make a term consider all of the following; your knowledge of the terms definition, examples of it and situations in which it is and can be used. DO NOT rate your understanding on how familiar you are with the word (“oh, I’ve heard that word before I must know it.”) but rather how well you understand it. Show me your list when we get back from break.
