Every week, each student is assigned to discover 10 new vocabulary words and record them in their individual logs. In each upcoming essay that is due, it is required that each student use at least 5 vocabulary words from their log in each essay. This is the crux of developing speaking and writing skills, and here's why.
- The more words you know and the more diverse your vocabulary, the more complex and intellectual you can structure your sentences.
- When you can speak and write better than others, a myriad of doors open for you.
- Employers are more willing to hire someone who can speak at a higher level than others.
- Colleges are for sure going to accept a student with a seemingly ever-expanding knowledge of words and their meanings.
This is all very true! We all need to continue to expand our word-hoard! ~ Mrs. Kopp
