Vocabulary Engergizers Chapter 1
Tuesday 8 April 2014 for Periods 2, 5, & 6 and Wednesday 9 April 2014 for Periods 1 & 7
Quiz: Final chapters of Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson
Mr. Stone went over the format of the Vocabulary Energizer workbook and explained that the class would cover all of the book's ten chapters before the semester's final exam. The final exam will cover a hundred randomly selected words from the one-hundred-and-fifty words covered in the book.
Each vocabulary quiz following the first one will have not only the fifteen new words presented but five words from previous chapters.
Mr. Stone reminded students that narrative/story helps memory. Reading the stories presented with many of the vocabulary words will help the student to remember the word. Repetition also makes material become more permanently stored in the memory. Students should quiz themselves over the words many times. Making study a game is also a proven method to help a student remember.
Homework: Complete the exercises for Chapter 1 of Vocabulary Energizers.
Students will return to working on the research paper next week.
