Extra Study |
Study ten words per
week to be quizzed on each Wednesday. Quizzes will be as follows: I
will pronounce a word and you will spell it correctly, define it, and use it in
a sentence with contextual clues that help define it further. I suggest you know the part of speech; if the
word functions equally as two parts of speech (a noun and a verb, for example)
know the meanings for each. When you write your sentences, you may use various
forms of the word: adjective, adverb, or any verb tense, provided you use the
form correctly. The quizzes are worth 20
points each.
You may use this
master list as your definition guide and to keep track of which words to
study. You do not have to hand this list
in. This list will be used both semesters; don’t lose it!
