READ THIS: ITS BRIANS RANT/DISCUSSION
How the heck are we supposed to get definitions in context if she doesn't even put the words in a logical order.
its basically impossible (hours upon hours of pointless work), to find 300 random vocab words in a 50 page packet.
even if we split the words up over the entire class, finding 10 words each would still be annoying.
but do-able.
so, 3 options:
1. we split up the work, among all 20 french students, and each person only has to find 6-7 words in context.
2. someone finds all of them
3. everybody finds all of them for themselves
4. we say "screw this" and complain on tuesday
i kinda like #4, but then again, I am the "big baby" around here.
and, as far as i know, she took these 300 words from all 15 chapters, since she said there were 20 per chapter, and these were all the vocab words for the whole book.
so it IS actually impossible to find them all in context, since half of them are in parts of the book we don't have.
ok, rant done.
