Writing
for College Classes |

Students will be expanding
their vocabulary throughout the semester. Each week students will receive 12
new vocab. words (6/2 days). Student will be given the part of speech,
definition, and a sentence for each word. The first class day of the week
students will be tested on the words from the previous week. If a student
misses a test, he or she must make up the test the following school day
before or after school, during lunch, or during my prep. period.
Test scores will count on the final grade. Below is a list of the words. |
