Vocabulary matters, too... a lot.
In this class, we will incorporate vocabulary into everything we do, starting with a daily warm up. Below is a table showing how we will learn 15 new words each week.
The words we will learn in this class will come from a book titled 1100 Words You Need to Know. These words are not content specific. Instead, these are words that all high school students should learn to strengthen your vocabulary and expand your word power. As you learn them, you will realize that you come across them not only in this class, but in math, biology, and Latin as well.
If you click on the buttons below, you will find flashcards to practice the words in definitions. This is a good way to study, but don't rely on JUST this method. Remember your assessments will require you to apply the definitions, form connections between the words (to other words and our reading materials), and create sentences that demonstrate understanding.
