- Each week, we will focus on 2 chapters from our vocabulary book and study 20 words.
- This is a large number of words to remember; thus, vocabulary homework will be assigned in every class to ensure sufficient practice. I will always check this homework and expect it to be complete (not half done).
- The homework is very important in helping you to learn the words (and to improve your vocabulary and do well on the tests!)
- We will have a vocabulary quiz every Friday.
- The vocabulary goal for this class is that students will understand the vocabulary words AND also be able to use them correctly in speaking and writing. Therefore, the quizzes are meant to assess this.
- Students are encouraged to practice using the words in sentences to study for the quiz. Every Wednesday, before the quiz, I will offer to check (and correct) 5 sentences for students who email these to me. This is a GREAT way to prepare for the quiz (AND I keep track of these emails and count them as extra credit for your homework grade!)
- Extra credit opportunities (bonus points applied directly to quiz grades) are occasionally offered here on the blog- so check it regularly!
