In order to do a glossary entry, you had to look for any words you did not know from any readings we were doing in class, heard the professor say or a classmate too, or even articles we used outside of class. We chose one word for each entry, and wrote about the meaning of the word, where in the reading it was found and how it helps you better understand what the author was saying after now knowing the definition of the word. Doing these glossary entries throughout the semester was very beneficial for me. It made me understand that it is very important to know the definitions of words when reading an article, story, etc. because it help’s you better understand what it is you are reading and comprehend what the author is saying. It also helped me when I annotated, I got in the habit of circling any unknown words and searching up the definitions of them so I could comprehend the articles we read or searched up in class. This activity also helped me to use higher vocabulary when writing papers and in some cases probably start using them on a presentation or my public speaking. Therefore, these glossary entries were very helpful this semester and the strategies I got from it, I will try to continue to use them in my upcoming semester.
