Next Day 3 is Remembrance Day Wednesday November 11th, therefore there will be no test that day. Instead, Thursday November 12th you will have your TERM 1 REVIEW & CHALLENGE TEST.
90% of the test will consist of List 1 – List 5 spelling and definitions (Review).
10% of the test will consist of challenge words. This part is optional, but necessary if you wish to score over 90% (Challenge)
This test will be worth twice the value of a weekly test.
To prepare for this test:
1) Make sure you have all of Lists 1-5 words and their definitions in your Spelling and Vocab notebook. All lists can be found in the blog
2) By Friday (November 6th, 2009) get a parent, guardian, older sibling or friend to test you on the spelling of the five lists (see over).
3) Correct spelling.
4) Read through the list again. Mark words with an asterisk (*) if you don’t remember the definition. Cue cards can be a great way to study vocabulary. Write the word on one side, and the definition and sentence on the other.
5) Decide whether you will focus your energy on working on Lists 1-5, and whether you wish to add List 6 (the Challenge words).
List 6 (do word type, definitions and sentences – worth 10% of test)
• Coalesce
• Fission
• Altruistic
• Pedantic
• Corpulent
• Lax
• Immaculate
• To Abhor
• Hackneyed
• To Placate
