This document provides guidance for learning new English words by writing definitions, parts of speech, example sentences, related words, and word families. It explains that students will be quizzed on 3-4 words by writing sentences that follow a given rule, such as beginning each sentence with "Today", to demonstrate understanding beyond just memorization. Correct usage and grammar will earn points while misunderstanding words or making errors will lose points. The goal is to help students learn new vocabulary in a practical way.
