Word Diaries Due Every Tuesday (starting Tuesday, January 16th)

I was unclear in class about the word diary handing-in requirements, sorry abut that! You need a little notebook or similar thing to carry around and record your words in. (What if you hear a good one and you don't have anything to hand to write on?) However, for handing in, you will type up two of your words in the format specified in the handout (downloadable below), and hand in the physical sheet of paper to Michael at the beginning of class on Tuesday.

Here are the .pdf handouts of the lecture notes so far:
