Hi everyone,
Here are the Pilgrim vocabulary words that we shared with each other in class on Monday. I encourage you to add more words to your own list that you find interesting, or to share words that you are not sure what part of speech they are. Then as a class, we can continue to discuss them together. Mr. Peters
