Giving you a vocabulary list is meant to help expand your vocabulary. The words below are possibly unknown to you. Adon Ross will ask you to make note cards for those words you honestly don't know. If you do know the definitions, he still may ask you to make a minimum of five note cards. You might find words in the reading that are not in this list.

Words with an asterisk (*) in front are the words which eventually will be those on a final vocabulary test.
