Vocabulary+Lessons

=Vocabulary Schedule=

Each vocabulary lesson begins with a selection from a book, essay, story, poem, or speech. We will read through the selection without paying attention to the Master Words in bold text. Then we will read the passage a second time, this time paying attention to the Master Words.
 * Monday - whole group instruction**

This first exercise will help you identify the words which you have not yet mastered. Often you may think you may know a Master Word. But the meaning you know may differ from the meaning of the word as it is used in the passage. Or you may not be able to state the exact definition of a word. This exercise teaches you to look at a word in context and define its meaning more precisely.

In the second exercise, you are asked to write definitions of the Master Words. The first part of the exercise asks that you define as many of the ten words as you can without using a dictionary. You should use context clues from the passage and any previous experience you have had with the words to write your definitions.

In the third exercise, you will pick a synonym and antonym for each Master Word. A synonym is a word that means nearly the same as another; an antonym is a word that means nearly the opposite. You will also complete sentences using the master words.
 * Tuesday - station work**

On Wednesdays, you will work with a partner to use context clues to investigate connotations, or shades of meaning, for the master words and their synonyms.
 * Wednesday - partner work**

In the next exercise, you are asked to complete word analogies using the Master Words. An analogy is a comparison between two or more related things.
 * Thursday - individual work**

There will be weekly quizzes on the Master Words and a unit test when we have completed two or three lessons as shown below.
 * Friday - individual work**
