Vocabulary JournalYour vocabulary journal will consist of four different parts, which will be used individually and/or simultaneously.1. Content Vocabulary: The language associated with English Language Arts as content. This section will include the following subsections:-Reading (Ex: plot, theme, conflict, interactive voice, etc.) -Grammar (Ex: transitive verb, complex sentence, prepositional phrase, appositive, etc.)-Writing (Ex: parallelism, antithesis, passive voice, etc.)2. “Academic” Vocabulary: “Big words” found in the reading material that you do not know. Ex: ignominious.3. Word Power: Parts of words that create meaning, which include but are not limited to prefixes, suffixes, and Latin and Greek roots.4. SAT Vocabulary (Extra Credit): The SAT vocabulary is an extra credit section, which can be done for extra credit as long as your vocabulary journal is up to date, and your missing/incomplete assignments are turned in. You cannot use the SAT vocabulary section in lieu of the first three sections or in the place of missing grades; this section should be completed in addition to the first three sections for extra credit. In order to get the extra credit, you will need to put the SAT words in your vocabulary journal and take the quiz.About your Vocabulary Journal:1. Your Vocabulary Journal must be kept in a spiral.
