Class Experience

In this vocabulary class, students will learn 12 SAT vocabulary words in each lesson. A few words will be repeated from previous weeks for retention purposes.  Each class will introduce a combination of easy, intermediate, and challenging words most commonly seen on the SAT.  

Students will watch a short video to learn the definition, part of speech, and synonyms of their vocabulary words.  They will also use context clues to determine the meaning of some of their new vocabulary words. Identifying context clues is a valuable skill to learn for standardized tests!  Students will get a fill-in vocabulary for each video in order to keep up with all the words and the definitions. 

Then, the students will answer the multiple choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions I post in each lesson in order to further practice using context clues and become more familiar with their vocabulary words.  Finally, students will show their proficiency by creating their own creative sentences using some of the vocabulary words in each lesson.  I will provide feedback and guidance after they complete these activities. 

Although the words are commonly used SAT words, the questions are not SAT questions.  The multiple choice questions and other activities are meant to get the students familiar with the words, not practice taking the SAT. 

Example word list: astute, chagrin, diffident, gregarious, inundate, lethargic, mercurial, nefarious, paucity, refute, tome, vapid
