The glossary assignment helped us, student, a lot. It has the benefit of learning new words and gaining credits for defining them. When we get confused because of the new words we encounter, we always choose to ignore it and continue reading further down even if we don’t understand the meaning of it and the whole sentence. When I was doing this project throughout the semester, I have the chance to learn new vocabularies. One thing I like about this is that it’s not due the next week or next next week in class, it’s due when the semester is over, which gives us enough time to learn all 15 new vocabularies. We have 2 choices; either we do it all at once or week by week which gives us more times. Another good thing about this is that we can see our fellow classmate’s vocabularies, so not only we can learn within ourselves’, we can always get new vocabularies from the others. Even though we have enough time for this assignment, but I also get lazy and forgot to do it sometimes. Overall, this assignment is a success, I learn new vocabularies and gain credits for it in the end. Although I cant remember all the definitions of the words but I can always come back and check it out.

This glossary assignment was alright to start off in English class. However, I realized I had a lot of projects and other important things to do. In my other courses, there are a lot of studying to do and this assignment was honestly not important to me however I still did it. I felt like if I did have the time, I would absolutely this assignment because learning new words everyday or every week is important to me. It improves my vocabulary skills and it is useful in life. I did some of these vocab words last minute because I was studying for finals and I was busy with other important things to do. In High school, we did not really have any of these assignments however in middle school, I did have similar assignments like these. This assignment definitely improved my vocabulary and helped me reading skills by learning the word better and the sentence better. The articles were interesting and researching the words takes a lot of time. I did enjoy reading other classmates glossary words as well so that improved my vocabulary skills too. 

-“Dense urban jungles and resplendent verdant parks. ”

While I was reading through the article “ The Happiest and Saddest Places in New York City, According to Twitter” by Brian Merchant , I came across the word resplendent and was kinda familiar with the word , but was too sure about the exact definition. I used Context clues and the word that came across to me was splendid. After using context clues , I went online to look up the definition. Once I found the definition , I understood the word better. The way I understood the word was glowing or beautiful .
