Weeks 1-4 Spelling/Vocabulary Test

Today in LA, class period one and period five received their list of words for Wednesday's vocabulary test. The test will be based on the definitions of the last four weeks of spelling words.  I recommend studying at least 30 minutes a night between now and Wednesday. I have included a great vocabulary review game below.

The Dot Game

1. Materials needed:  paper and markers.
2. Draw 25 dots in a  square on the paper.
3. Each person playing this their own team.
4. Take turns saying a vocabulary word and giving a definition.
5. If they answer correctly, draw a horizontal or vertical line from one dot to another dot.
6. If they answer incorrectly, the game moves to the next person.
7. Continue drawing lines, one by one, between the dots until a square is made.
8. The person that makes a square writes their name in the square and then makes another line.
9. If the second line makes another square, they continue until they draw a line without a making a square.
10. The person with the most squares on the board when there is no possibilities for more lines is the winner.
11. Additional Rules:
• You can impose a time limit of 10 seconds per question.
12. This game can be used:
• To review anything.
• To practice grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening, or writing skills.
• To check answers from book work or hand outs.
• As a summary of what was covered in class that day.
