I forgot (since it was the weekend) we are beginning vocabulary practice and homework this week.
This week we will be focusing on dictionary skills.
Tonight the students will bring home their vocabulary list with their homework on the back side of it. This homework will be due Wednesday. We will go over it in class and if they attempted to do it... 100! :)
They need to study their words each night and will have a quiz Friday.
The quiz will use the words in context not simply ask for definitions so practice using the words in sentences in the correct context as often as you can! Our goal for vocabulary is to not just memorize words and definitions but to be able to figure out unknown words through context and to be able to apply different vocabulary skills. This way we are teaching students a life-long skill and not relying on memorization. :)
