On thursday in class we reviewed our vocabulary terms for the upcoming quiz. We were placed into groups of two and given three words to define in a sentence and draw a a picture. This activity was fun and helped the class have visual representations to understand many of the words. Personally I can still remember that Kobayashi easting one hundred hot dogs is not a hyperbole. We had no homework on thursday except prepare for the vocabulary quiz on Friday.
Because we were learning these new prefixes and suffixes, i wondered to myself why we learn vocab. On the website line below it talks about the reason of why we study vocabulary and strategies to expanding our vocabulary. Things i thought that were important from this article were that vocabulary opens new doors. It talks about how without vocabulary we present ourselves as being not intelligent. I thought this would be important because it the years to come we will all most likely be taking college visits and interviews. Expanding our vocab, will be important if we want to be accepted in our first choice colleges. Also a way to learn new vocabulary is to either read, and search words you dont understand; or use the "elementary style." The author of the website says the elementary style is by using the vocab book we use. I think you are reading this post it would be useful to read this website.
