Today we will begin our first set of SAT vocabulary. You'll need to pick up the list (15 words) with definitions and examples. That handout also has some practice exercises on the back for you to work on independently. You will have a sentence completions quiz on these words on Thursday. You will also have a Writing Exercise to do with the list. You can pick up the instructions for this assignment on the same day the list goes out. Expect a new list every Thursday, a quiz for that list on the following Thursday, and a writing exercise to do for each list. Quizzes and writing exercises are daily grades. Expect a vocabulary test after every third list.
3 Writing Exercises are due Tuesday, September 18th (9/14, 9/17, 9/18)
PSAT/NMSQT
This is the year you should be taking the PSAT. The test dates are either Wednesday, October 17th or Saturday, October 20th. You will need to register with your counselor and pay the $13 fee to take the test. Go do this before the end of the week so that you don't miss the deadline.
Here's the College Board's website. Visit it for info, practice, guides, etc.
