SAT Vocabulary Practice and Basic Global Literacy Skills Development Tasks (VOCAB, BLGT & A/N)
Template by www.calendarlabs.com
As Senior Honors and College Prep students, it is important that you are well prepared for your college entrance exams, and to be able to actively participate
during your first year of college. As such, you will be working on the following 4 tasks. NOTE: Task 1 (SAT Words) will be required until WINTER
BREAK. At that point, you should have taken college entrance exams (SAT, ACT, etc.) so, once winter break is over, you will begin Task 2. Tasks 3 will be
required all year.
1. SAT Vocabulary Prep Exercises - The assignment required is on the last page of this handout…most of you, if not all of you, have already done
similar. You will be quizzed either on due date, or perhaps a day or 2 after. *While the quizzes are not cumulative/summative, you would be wise to
review “old” lists; I have had dozens of students say they saw HW words on the SAT.
2. Basic Global Literacy Tools – This handout will serve you well not just for English class, but for History, Science, and in other arenas in your lives.
You will be expected to memorize the majority of the data in this packet, and you will see, as the year progresses, that the data you are being asked to be
“locked in” to your schemata will prove to contain a vast wealth of knowledge that is “pretty dern” useful. In future years this knowledge will
absolutely prove its usefulness, again and again. *These quizzes WILL be cumulative/summative…don’t lose the handout once you get it. Your charts
will be graded as you test.
3. A/N - Article/News
a. Articles – It is of paramount importance that you are aware of the world around you. This, of course, extends beyond stories, both fiction and
non-fiction. As such, you will be turning in a weekly assignment which compels you to stay abreast of contemporary, relevant issues. This will
serve as a tool in which to apply your BGLT.
i.
Article Requirements
1. See Schedule for Due Dates. ALL article & summaries must be NUMBERED
2. Articles chosen MUCH be 12+ paragraphs long (yes, I count!)
3. Topics may not be “Sports” “Media” or “Lifestyle” related, unless the article is approved before the due date
4. Articles must be ACTIVELY highlighted – Read the article, and highlight the most relevant information.
5. You will then write a summary of the article, pointing out the most relevant information, and then follow up with 1-2 thought
provoking questions. (2 preferred)
6. Your articles can only come from these websites:
- http://www.nytimes.com/
- http://www.usnews.com/
- http://www.time.com/time/
-http://Smithsonian.com/
- http://www.newsweek.com/
-http://nationalgeographic.com/
*Usage of Print copies of these sources is also acceptable
*If you find a compelling article from another source, see me!
Template by www.calendarlabs.com
b. News – A second way that you will be increasing your awareness of contemporary issues is that you will be watching the news EVERY WEEK.
This activity provides you with a second way to apply the skills you are developing through the BGLT exercises.
i. News Requirements
1. You will watch one news program each week. (30 minutes please…most listed below run 2 programs back-to-back)
2. It is strongly recommended that, over the course of MP 1 & 2 that you watch EACH option at least once, in order to help you
learn what format/style suits you best.
3. While watching, you will be taking notes, so that you can summarize the 3 MOST important items discussed (don’t panic! I am
aware that not everyone values the same thing! So long as you stay away from Sports, silly Media-related items, and other
frivolous stories, you should be fine!).
4. If needed, please visit the news WEBSITE in order to clarify your understanding of the issue. Take notes as needed.
5. Summarize each of the 3 stories. Each one deserves at least one COMPLETE paragraph.
6. Following each paragraph, make sure you ask 1-2 thought provoking questions about something additional you would like to
know about the topic (2 preferable)
7. The last week of each month ALL students will watch BBC news. This is valuable because it provides the viewer with insight on
how non-Americans perceive the news. See schedule for clarity.
8. News Summarizing requirements:
- You may choose from the following news programs/times:
- *LAST WEEK OF MONTH: BBC News 6-7 AM, 7-8 AM
- ALL other times
- BBC News 6-7AM, 7-8 AM M-F
- CBS News 6-7 PM M-F
- NBC News 6-7 PM M-F
- Fox – 5 at 5 (FOX NEWS Channel) 5-6 PM M-F
- Fox News Channel – Fox and Friends First 5-6AM M-F
- CBS – 60 Minutes – 8PM Sunday

Vocabulary Skills Enhancement HW Practice
Using
www.yourdictionary.com
Task:
Word
- Part of Speech
- Definition Summarized in My Words
- Model Sentence Copied From Site for Clarification
- My Own Unique Sentence
Why www.yourdictionary.com?
- Source is reliable
- Has example/model sentences in order
to clarify my understanding of the
word
- *If the site doesn’t have one, Google one!
Example
Plagiarize - Verb - Stealing a person’s ideas or writings and
pretending that it is mine.
1. Whose job is it anyway to see if someone has actually
plagiarized in a publication?
2. My teacher says that when I paraphrase, I have to give credit
to the source, so I do not plagiarize.
After recording the words, select 10 and write a short story – it
can be totally believable, or not. The function of this task is to
have you practice once more, using the words. The more you use
them, the higher the odds that you will work with them again.
