Module 5 - Vocabulary Enhancement

to answer the following questions:
Have I really moved the vocabulary studied in 1100 Words,
Weeks 11-12 into my utilitarian
vocabulary?
Am
I ready for Vocabulary Quiz #5?
Have
I really moved the vocabulary studied in 1100 Words,
Weeks 11-12 into my utilitarian
vocabulary?
Remember
as you create your study lists, vocabulary journals, columns, or
cards, consult a good dictionary for a complete definition. The
one-word synonyms found in 1100 Words are fine for
matching practice, but may lead you astray when you are actually
attempting to use these words correctly in speech or
writing.
Click
here to view the Study Guide for 1100
Words weeks 11 through 12. This list will help you to assess
your progress prior to attempting the practice writing - Vocab
Activity 5.
Vocabulary Practice
Writing - Activity 5 - Optional Extra Credit
Writing
in which you actually use the words you are attempting to master
requires that you have full conceptual knowledge of each word. Test
your knowledge of the words we have studied in weeks 1-12 by attempting a short story or essay on
a topic of your choice in which you incorporate as many of those
vocabulary words as you can; try to use at least 10 of the
words.
If
you like, you may do more collaborative writing like the writing
roulette you posted for the last vocab module. If you are
writing an opening paragraph and inviting classmates to
contribute to your essay or story, put an indicator ("WR"
for writing roulette) in the subject line (title) of your
posting.
As
in previous vocab practice writing posts, underline the words as you use them; when
your essay or story is complete, count the total number of
vocabulary words and write that number in parentheses at the
bottom of your posting. Post your completed essay or story to
the appropriate forum on our online discussion board for extra credit.
Am
I ready for Vocab Quiz #5?
Now
that you have prepared and studied your self-selected list of
recognition and unknown vocabulary and reviewed using the class
study guide list, you should be ready to take the quiz. This
quiz will follow the format of all vocabulary quizzes for Read
110:
- Ten
words from the announced weeks (9 words from the study guide
list and 1 "mystery word" that will separate the
"A" students from the "A+" students)
- The
quiz will be similar to the practice quiz in DRV on pages
22-23.
For each word, be prepared to write:
- A
complete definition, not a vague, one-word synonym
- A
sentence using the word. Your sentences should clearly
demonstrate that you understand the word's meaning and
how to use it correctly in a sentence.
- The
extra credit opportunity for this quiz is the practice
writing Vocab Activity 5 outlined
above.
Unlike
the Concept Quick Quizzes, you will not be allowed to use notes
when you come in to lab to take vocabulary quizzes.
You
will be notified via email when Vocabulary Quiz #5 will be
available in lab for you to complete.
