EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:

 

VOCABULARY SEARCH

 

In an effort to prepare students for the OGT, SAT, ACT and any other standardized test, I am offering an extra credit opportunity.  If a student finds a word from our vocabulary unit in any reading material*, he/she is to bring that material to me, show me the word in the vocabulary book, define the word, and the student will receive 2 extra credit points.  Students are allowed a maximum of five words per quarter. 

 

* Internet sources are not eligible for extra credit.  It is too easy for a student to search for the word part, print out a page and not actually read.  The goal of this extra credit is two-fold; students learn the definition of a word, and they are being active readers.
