The purpose of this class is to get the students to interact with the words in a way that will help to cement the meaning in their minds. By interacting with the words in multiple ways, this is far more likely to happen.

In this live ongoing class, we will deeply explore 8 SAT/ACT vocabulary words per class through an interactive Lumio presentation that will host:
- anonymous live polls to establish prior knowledge of terms and definitions
- class-wide discussions over material
- exemplar graphics and photographs to connect to the term visually
- a brief etymology (word history) for the term to establish connections between related words
- teacher-created example sentences
- a chance for students to apply their new knowledge to create their own example sentences
- synonym or antonym challenges
- play an interactive class competition "Lightning Round" game

In addition, learners will be provided with:
 - a guided notes graphic organizer in your enrollment "welcome" message that you can print week after week to organize the terms neatly in a binder for future study sessions
 - a "quick reference" guide posted in the classroom at the end of class for those who weren't able to attend or want to double-check their own notes
 - the class recording, made automatically available after processing so that students who missed always have access, and those who love to fortify notes have free access to do so 
 - link to a private Quizlet study deck for that week's words with a video tutorial of how to save the sets for future study and retention



Since this is an interactive class including class-wide anonymous polls and opportunities for students to create their own example sentences in turn, class time may run over. I will continue running class until all material is finished, but students are welcome to excuse themselves at the end of class time if they have other engagements. The recording, Quizlet study deck, and quick study guides will be available after class so that they may easily catch up on anything they missed.
