Expectations:
What is the SAT? 10 words over 4 class periods, then a quiz the following
day. Quizzes will be matching and using the words correctly in
a sentence. Quizzes are cumulative. I can pull words from any
previous quiz. You don’t “own” a word until you can understand it when
you hear or read it as well as use it appropriately in your own writing and conversation.
