SAT Vocabulary Practice and Basic Global Literacy Skills Development Tasks (VOCAB, BLGT & A/N)
As Senior Honors and College Prep students, it is important that you are well prepared for your college entrance exams, and to be able to actively participate during your first year of college. As such, you will be working on the following 4 tasks. NOTE: Task 1 (SAT Words) will be required until WINTER BREAK. At that point, you should have taken college entrance exams (SAT, ACT, etc.) so, once winter break is over, you will begin Task 2. Tasks 3 will be required all year.
1. SAT Vocabulary Prep Exercises - The assignment required is on the last page of this handout…most of you, if not all of you, have already done similar. You will be quizzed either on due date, or perhaps a day or 2 after. *While the quizzes are not cumulative/summative, you would be wise to review “old” lists; I have had dozens of students say they saw HW words on the SAT.
2. Basic Global Literacy Tools – This handout will serve you well not just for English class, but for History, Science, and in other arenas in your lives. You will be expected to memorize the majority of the data in this packet, and you will see, as the year progresses, that the data you are being asked to be “locked in” to your schemata will prove to contain a vast wealth of knowledge that is “pretty dern” useful. In future years this knowledge will absolutely prove its usefulness, again and again. *These quizzes WILL be cumulative/summative…don’t lose the handout once you get it. Your charts will be graded as you test.
3. A/N - Article/News
- Articles – It is of paramount importance that you are aware of the world around you. This, of course, extends beyond stories, both fiction and non-fiction. As such, you will be turning in a weekly assignment which compels you to stay abreast of contemporary, relevant issues. This will serve as a tool in which to apply your BGLT.
- Article Requirements
- See Schedule for Due Dates. ALL article & summaries must be NUMBERED
- Articles chosen MUCH be 12+ paragraphs long (yes, I count!)
- Topics may not be “Sports” “Media” or “Lifestyle” related, unless the article is approved before the due date
- Articles must be ACTIVELY highlighted – Read the article, and highlight the most relevant information.
- You will then write a summary of the article, pointing out the most relevant information, and then follow up with 1-2 thought provoking questions. (2 preferred)
- Your articles can only come from these websites:
