• All vocabulary work must be completed individually. Copying another student's vocabulary work
or giving your vocabulary work to another student to copy is considered cheating.
Students caught cheating will be referred to the Dean of Students and will receive a score of 0 in
Progress Book until the issue is resolved by the Academic Dishonesty Committee.

STUDY:
One way to study for vocabulary quizzes is by going to Quizlet.com. Mrs. Hartman has already entered
all of your words and definitions. You merely need to go to the website, search for her lists, and then use the
website. You can print ready-made flashcards, play games, and take practice tests on the website.
Directions for using Quizlet:
1. Go to www.quizlet.com. This website is free. You can use it with or without an account.
If you wish to save or combine lists, you will want to create an account.
2. In the search box, type: mrshartman (type it EXACTLY like that – no spaces or
punctuation)
3. The lists of words will appear under the heading "Watkins CP 9." Find the correct unit
and click on it. Both CP & Honors classes will use these lists.
4. In the middle of the screen, choose to Study, Play Games, or Print Flashcards.
Quizlet apps also exist so that you can study and play games on your phone, tablet, etc. The Apple app
is actually called Quizlet. On a Droid device, the app is called Flashcard+.
HONORS 9 VOCABULARY HOMEWORK:
• All four vocabulary homework assignments are considered formative assignments and will have a
weight of 0% in Progress Book.
• All homework assignments will be graded for correctness and entered into Progress Book with a score
out of 10 points.
• Late homework assignments will be entered into Progress Book as 0 points.
• Students who frequently do not complete assignments in a timely manner will be assigned Academic
Intervention Sessions and will receive phone calls home.
HONORS 9 QUIZ:
Vocabulary quizzes are out of 45 points. Quizzes will cover a total of 15 words. Ten words will be
randomly selected from the current list of words. Five words will be randomly selected from ANY old list from
the school year. This means that you must study ALL of your words ALL year!
The quiz will contain two parts. In part one, you must spell each of the 15 words correctly (1 point
each). For part two, you will be given a writing topic. You will have 30 minutes in which to create a short
narrative on the topic and include all 15 words with a context clue. Each word that is used as the correct part of
speech and contains a clear context clue that demonstrates your knowledge of the definition will earn 2 points.
Students who wish to retake a vocabulary quiz to receive a higher score may do so if they turn in all
homework assignments on time and receive the following scores:
