Vocabulary List (Pre-AP) – Week 3

Vocabulary List (Academic and CP) – Week 3

Today in class, we introduced this week’s vocabulary words (electronic copies of the lists are above). We’ll have our second vocabulary quiz on Monday over these.

We also went over the etymology of the first five words. Students answered the questions in the following PowerPoint about those words on a sheet of notebook paper (complete sentences!) – I’ll take those responses up at the end of the week for a grade.

Week 3 Vocabulary Presentation

Finally, we watched the “reaping” scene from the Hunger Games movie as a refresher for what we’ve read in the novel, in preparation for rewriting that scene from another character’s perspective. Students completed the pre-writing questions from the document at the top of this post.

A few reminders:
