you will keep all the work for this book. Keep clean and clear notes with title

Know your group for the vocab (7 groups of 6, a mixture of boys and girls). Know what words you are responsible to work on (p. # + word in French), be responsible and do your share of the work.
Also, each group will be responsible to add the information on our common lists of word. I will assign 1 list per group (A : Hugh's, B: Emmett's, C : Raegan's, D : Noah's, E : Abby's, F : Calvin's). Last group, Silas', will have an extra task to make up for the work.
