general+vocabulary+words

Objective: Students will receive a grade on the post test only after learning general vocabulary words which may improve standardized test scores as well as understanding of words used in the work world. Day one.... Do not practice before the pretest...... Pretest []

Go to studystack and study the definitions. Use the following link. []

Study or review the vocabulary for 10 minutes.

The class manager will assign one word to each class member. The member will be prepared to present the word to classmates. Each person will state the word and definition, then give an example of how the word can be used. Then they will remind the students of the key word to remember the definition.

The class manager will instruct the class to roll into a circle for the presentations.

Listen closely to the instructions. I will not **describe** the assignment. I will give an example: I would like for students to work with **colleagues** in their group and **cooperate** in a relaxed **environment** to write a paragraph using as many vocabulary words as possible from the general list. Managers make sure everyone **contributes** on a **voluntary** basis. Sit in a circle, so you can **visually** see one another. Your group members are your **resources**. I am sure you can **rely** on them as you **pursue** to accomplish this task. Do not **discriminate**. Listen to everyone’s **viewpoint** and let everyone have a **voice**. I am sure we will have **diverse** answers because each group is **unique**. There is no need for the reporter to **proofread** paragraphs. Just **skim** and be ready to share. Please **identify** your group before you begin. No **fee** will be charged for bad paragraphs. Use your strong work **ethic** and get started.
