Vocabulary Discussion DUE Tue., April 29, 2008

Last week, we discussed the importance of developing your vocabulary. Everyone agrees that vocabulary knowledge has an impact on your reading and writing abilities.

The teachers in all departments here at SSSD agree, also. Everyone will work as a team to help all students develop their vocabulary. For this blog, choose one or two words that you have learned in other classes (math, social studies, science, etc.). Define the words, use them in sentences, and explain where you learned the words.

Hey yo!, What's up with you all? enjoy your weekend? and I just wanted to tell you that many different vocab in math, ss, science, and larts. Honest with you all that most of worksheets that has a lot of vocab that is real tough and don't know how to spell it, then yes the students have to tell or ask the teachers for the help, so that means the teachers are willing for help kids out. Teachers are here only for helping you kids out and learn about things that what they teach you all. I love to learn many different type of vocab, because I wanted to learn more rough and have some challage! I am willing to learn so much new vocab in math, larts, ss, science!. I've always ask my mom what does that means, then she tells me and I was like oh yeah I should have to learn now and have fun with it. Yes I do agree with you all teachers and that they should have to take vocab class for students like as a team and have fun and thrown all new words that they possible knowledge about it.. That would be help us a lot. But that is all what I am saying, well I gotta to go for now.. See yah all later bye.

Hey! Many people agrees that vocabulary knowledge has an impact on your reading and writing because we need know how to chat, jobs, or anything we need to write. I learn vocabulary from reading class, social studies, science, math, art, job, and etc. I can know vocabulary as mean sign but I not good remember spell as long spell. I am wish more smart but I didn't good spell. Damn! All people (rich, or middle, or poor class) not know all of everything but not! All people alway get wrong spell. Not worry about it. We can learn to them and me! I want more learning vocabulary for future but I not want to quiz as O.R. doing that. Lol. Good Night!

Yo everybody whazz up!!

Yep that ture that any difficult vocabulary would help your reading and writing abilities. Every time when you look that word and you still remember then when you become older and your friend or date (boyfriend/girlfriend) said that word you know and you will always remember when death it dosen't MATTER!! You still remember in your mind! Also often out world is more difficult to learn and remember because deaf hard to learn while hearing people learn easy and fast. Actually I am agree with (MADKML) =^D

Yea it's important for me to learn the new vocab words in different kind of subjects. I am agreeing with teacher,students about vocab. words. So if we dont learn with that new words then we dont know the new word at out of world. We need to know alot news vocab. words. Not old vocab but problem is to learn how spelled the words like longer words but short words is easy.But long words is alittle hard to remember! HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Well, I'm agreeing on this. We have to learn a new difficult word but some people don't understand difficult word but how we can learn a word mean is a vocabulary. Now SSSD must to teach a vocabulary to learn we try to be known in our future. I have to learn a math, English, reading, and social studies because they must to know what a word like a decade or biosocial. In the future do you want go to college or work but they would have a special a word what is mean for that. I hope they would to learn a new word and vocabulary.

Fly Racing said...

Their is alots of diffrent vocab.
you can use them for science class and math class and english. people who use vocab is helping you know what that mean.

I would love to read all diffrent vocab because I want to learn about vocab is more important to read vocab so I know what that mean. Its important for me in future because is going be very hard vocab when you got college so I should read vocab and learning them all the answer and keep this in your mind. If you forget all about vocab than you should read over again till you remember it
or tell your friend for help.

No one, No one, No one can get in the way of what I'm feelin for u said...

I've learned 2 different words in O'Rourke's room.

1.Conspiracy
2.Bittersweet

First of all, I never knew "bittersweet" was a word, until O'Rourke explained the real meaning behind it, it has gulped me. Bittersweet means you're doing something presently and you think to yourself that you wish it had happen to you before than TODAY.
(It was a bittersweet feeling.)

And lastly, Conspiracy - I think that definition was taught during Grapes of Wrath, but it means someone having a 2nd thought in the back of their head.
(The government discovered the conspiracy in time.)
