English 9

 

Vocabulary Development

Our Vocabulary and Spelling curriculum will extend throughout the year and will progress using the ACE/BDF schedule in the high school.  In other words, each new unit of words will be assigned on an A/B day.  The work for that unit will be due the next class on a C/D day, and there will be a quiz the following class on an E/F day.  There will be cumulative testing of the vocabulary and spelling words on both the midterm and final exams.

“When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before”

*In keeping with proper punctuation of literature, titles of longer works will be underlined.  Hyperlinks will be noted with an underline as well as a blue text color.
