詞彙研討會，第一季

After more than 100 weeks of the popular class Vocabulary Workshop, I've decided to return to some of the original words for students who missed them the first time around! Current students in Vocabulary Workshop are welcome to take this class as well, but please review the word list (below) to ensure that the student won't be repeating words. The words in Season 1 correspond to weeks 30-42 of Vocabulary Workshop. 

A large vocabulary is critical to future success on standardized tests, in college, and in the workplace. So why not start building a better vocabulary right now? In this ongoing weekly class, students will learn 10 vocabulary words during each session. We will examine each word's etymology, part of speech, synonyms, antonyms, and use in language. Students will also be given access to a Quizlet (online flashcards and games) and a Nearpod activity to practice the words outside of class. 

All words are taken from SAT/ACT vocabulary lists and will be different each week. As this is an ongoing class, students are welcome to attend some or all weeks and to skip classes when necessary.
