SOPHOMORE SPRING VOCABULARY & GRAMMAR ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS
Scroll down to Page 4 for WEEKLY VOCABULARY WORD LISTS.
Due Dates:
 Grammar sentences using the current week’s words due every Tuesday to Turnitin.com.
 Vocabulary tests administered every Wednesday.
 Final exam, covering all 360 words, administered at semester’s end.
PART 1: VOCABULARY LOG
The intent of this assignment is not just to have you memorize the affixes. You should also work to become familiar
with words that use the affixes, as well as the connotations of the words and proper use of the words in context.
Your Grammar Assignment sentences (see Page 3 below) should reflect this level of understanding.
Vocabulary Log Directions:
 A minimum of 20 words/affixes must be logged each week.
 Students are required to complete logs (see Page 2 below) on their own time.
 Logs will be submitted with the vocabulary test each Wednesday.
 Vocabulary logs are worth ½ of the weekly test grade. Tests submitted without logs can only earn up to 50%
(F).
 All sections of the log must be complete and neatly hand-written.
 Logs created on plain paper will not be accepted for credit, nor will printed logs that don’t show the rubric on
top.
 Use common sense: when choosing words from the affixes lists (WK13-WK16), log words you want to know
and think you might use—do not log esoteric or archaic language.
 Study suggestion: Don’t wait until the last minute to do your logs or your grammar sentences! The point here is
to actually LEARN something, not just to check the activities off your “things-to-do” list. So, consider logging 3
or 4 words/affixes per day and writing 3 or 4 sentences per day, and review at least one previous vocabulary
log per day, as well. If you do this, you’ll likely never have to study for a vocabulary test, not even the final
exam!
Expectations for Mastery:
 Completion
o All boxes in the chart are completed.
 Legibility
o Words are printed clearly, neatly, and darkly.
o Writing is free of distracting grammatical and/or mechanical errors.

PART 2: GRAMMAR SENTENCES
As noted in the Vocabulary Log directions above, the intent of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to use
the vocabulary words in context. In addition, you are expected to write significant, purposeful, and meaningful
statements.
Grammar Sentence Directions & Due Dates:
 WEEK 1 & WEEK 10: Every sentence must fall under one of each of the following classifications FIVE times:

 WEEK 2 & WEEK 11: Every sentence must fall under one of each of the following classifications FIVE times:
simple, compound, complex, compound-complex. Label sentences accordingly. For definitions and examples of
these classifications, go to http://freelance-writing-articles.knoji.com/the-different-classification-ofsentences/.
 WEEK 3 & WEEK 12: Every sentence should contain a pronoun and its antecedent. Italicize pronouns and
underline antecedents. For an antecedent definition, go to http://www.grammarmonster.com/glossary/antecedent.htm.
 WEEK 4 & WEEK 13: Sentences should contain modifiers as follows (italicize modifiers). For help with phrases

subordinating conjunctions, go to http://www.myenglishteacher.net/subordinatingconjunctions.html.
 WEEK 6 & WEEK 15: Every sentence must utilize parallel structure; higher scoring sentences will use structures
more complicated than parallel words (e.g. phrases, clauses, etc.). Italicize your parallel structures. For
information on parallel structure, go to https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/623/01/.
 WEEK 7 & WEEK 16: Sentences should include 7 cumulative (or loose) sentences, 7 periodic sentences, and 6
inverted sentences. Label sentences accordingly. For information on these types, go to
http://quizlet.com/25766345/types-of-sentences-periodic-cumulative-inverted-and-parallel-structure-flashcards/.
 WEEK 8 & WEEK 17: All twenty sentences must contain an appositive. They should not all look the same.
Italicize the appositive. For help with appositives, go to http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/appositive.htm.
 No sentences due during WEEK 9, Spring Break, or Finals Week.
Expectations for Mastery:
 Completion
o All 20 sentences are provided, using 20 words from the current week’s vocabulary log.
 Accuracy
o Sentences are typed and numbered, 1-20.
o All vocabulary words are in ALL CAPS.
 Grammar
o Uses correct grammar, spelling, and mechanics (no passive voice, agreement errors, fragments, run-ons)
 Context
o Words are used in proper context and in a way that demonstrates understanding. In other words,
someone who has never heard the words before should be able to glean meanings through reading your
sentences.
