Starting this year [2013], we will be taking Vocabulary Intervention Quizzes every Wednesday starting January 23 (the first week of the
Second Semester) to refresh and review our vocabulary to prepare for the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) in April. The words will
be given to you in advance and posted to my web page. A glossary of terms will be provided to you in class to define the terms, however
the glossary of terms will not be posted online. Quizzes #1 and #2 will consist of 5 words and starting in week #3 and so on, there will be
10 terms…5 new and any random 5 from previous weeks, so you should have a plan to constantly review the words and definitions. I
would suggest making flash cards and keep adding to the pile! At the end of 15 weeks we will have reviewed 75 science terms, some of
which are not in the 8th grade curriculum but often seen on the test. This grade will be averaged in with your science grade and identified
as “Vocabulary Intervention Quizzes” on Infinite Campus.
