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.
