A glossary entry consist of finding words that were unfamiliar in any reading piece, than looking up the real definition of what the word meant. Each week I have always found a word that I was unfamiliar with, and before looking up at the possible definition, I would guess what that word could mean, most of the time my definition verses the actual one would match.Finding words that I have never heard of helped me expand my vocabulary, which I find very useful for the future.Writing essays, reading, giving out speeches, or even being in an interview deals with having a good and expanded vocabulary. It is important for us to know what certain words mean because we never know where and when it will show up. Doing glossary entries was an important skill to help me learn new words every week, and also looking at my other classmates words was helpful as well. We basically made a class dictionary. Reading articles, short stories, and passages got me in the habit of always annotating, and writing in the margins of the words I did not know the meaning of. Its a good skill to have in college, especially in an english class. I will definitely continue using this skill in the future, and I will gladly teach others the new words I’ve learned.
