Look forward to seeing you all for week 4 class in a few days! Hope you had a good vacation week.
I sure appreciate the "above and beyond" work you have been doing.
We especially look forward to seeing Christina, who is working hard even as she recovers from her accident!
As promised, here are the quiz (mix and match)terms and definitions (from you text) to study for quiz on Week 5..
Just for fun..There are really only 15 terms on the quiz, so one of the items below is a joke..

This was a hard one, but i'm going to say #14? and that's my final answer!! Lol :)
ReplyDeleteVery Funny!! I'm glad I looked at everyone's post. I've been studying #14 the most. I definitely have that one memorized for the quiz. Shoot!!! I guess I'll have to study the others now. LOL.. I will see everyone this evening.
ReplyDeleteKimberly Johnson
OK, since everyone else thinks it is #14, that's what I'll say too but I have a feeling if you went ahead and put it on the quiz we would get that one right too!
ReplyDeleteNice guesses all..but believe it or not, NO ONE got it right so fat!! (:
ReplyDeleteSee you in two hours, maybe someone will win by then!! (:
Well, The definition for Righteousness is not complete...?
ReplyDeleteoops, typo. should say NO ONE got it right so far",not "so fat" (:
ReplyDeleteKimeberly, excellent try..but no.
Clue:
All the terms and definitions are Ok.
So what I will do is include #14 on the quiz, as a freebie (you are welcome), and remove one of the items above that is often confused with another item..
Huh? We're having a quiz next week???
ReplyDelete(I think it's Cannan and Palestine that overlap).
