As I announced, as part of our initiative to raise multiple-choice scores, you will now be required to read one "Vocab-Building Article" a week. You may choose any of the articles below. You only need to read one article.
When you finish, choose three or four words that were new to you. This will be most helpful if you choose words that may be on the AP exam. So, for example, a scientific noun like "neurotransmitter" is a fascinating thing to learn about, but will not be on the exam. Adjectives describing art or literature are a much better bet.
For each word:
- copy the whole sentence from the article and underline the word you are learning
- look up the definition and write it down
- use the word in a new sentence
Your first vocabulary assignment is due Friday, October 21. You may hand it in in class or as an e-mail attachment to msdame3@gmail.com.
Here are your article choices:
