Vocabulary Assignment Due 10/21

For chapters 7-13 I still want you to annotate as you normally would, but I want you to focus on vocabulary as an "after reading" assignment.

Go back through the reading and find the words you circled. I would like you to complete a "Vocabulary Four Square" for at least 8 words you didn't know (I encourage you to really do it for EVERY word you don't know...it can only help you). Please do not come to class and say there weren't words you didn't know...unless you are 100% confident that is true. To keep it fair, I plan to pull words I feel are newer to students in our group and give those words as a quiz to anyone who thinks they knew every word from the selection.

Below I have included the PowerPoint slides from our class where I showed what the Vocabulary Four Square is, gave an example of how to use a vocabulary word in the Vocabulary Four Square, and the words I pulled from chapters 1-6. Feel free to complete a Vocabulary Four Square for words you didn't know from chapters 1-6 as well...it can only help you to become more successful.

As always, email me with questions. I am going to be switching to the fameacademy.literacy@famefund.org email, but I will still be checking the fameacademy.literacy@gmail.com for a few more weeks until everyone is used to the change.
