VOCABULARY ASSIGNMENTS
MRS. PENDLEY
GLOBAL II 2012-2013
INTRODUCTION
Directions:
• In your composition book you will keep a list of every vocabulary term along with the word tree/tasks that you create.
• At the end of the year you should have a composition book filled with every term and concept I taught you. It will serve as an outstanding review tool for the Global Studies Regents Exam.
• There are five tasks that you will be performing using each vocabulary term.
1. Define each word. – In your own words!!
2. Create two tree branches.
3. Create 1-2 connecting sentences. ( show your knowledge of the word)
4. Connect the word to at least one Global Studies Theme.
5. Name 1-2 modern day connections.
• The words are to stay in order. You will label the top of the page Vocabulary # , the date it’s due and the chapter name. Vocabulary terms are to be numbered. Do not create a word tree or a vocabulary list without numbering the terms. I will hand it back to you.
• Your vocabulary assignment will be due either once a week or within two weeks of the chapter introduction. This is dependent on the amount of words and how long the chapter is. ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE LISTED ON LINE. VOCABULARY LISTS ARE ALSO LISTED ON LINE.
• Vocabulary assignments MUST be done in your vocabulary composition book. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. I will not accept any assignment on loose-leaf paper, computer generated paper using computer graphics or charts, vocabulary that is partially done, or ANY vocabulary assignment sent to my email. EVERY VOCABULARY ASSIGNMENT MUST BE HAND WRITTEN, USING A PEN AND DONE IN YOUR COMPOSITION BOOK. NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Please let me know early if you need help. Do not wait until the night before. These vocabulary assignments are the bulk of your homework assignments for me. Even if you’re a great test taker it will drastically affect your grade if you don’t keep up with these assignments.
• FYI – I WILL MODEL THE ENTIRE PROCESS FOR YOU. YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO PRACTICE BEFORE THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT IS DUE.
• These assignments are meant to help you prepare for the Global Studies Regents which you will take at the end of the year. You need to sit down and concentrate when doing your vocabulary assignments. It will help you connect the concepts and make everything I discuss in class more meaningful.
