You will receive 10 new vocabulary words each week, which I will add to a stack of vocabulary note cards that we will maintain ­ and that you will be responsible for ­ throughout the semester. Thatís right, the system will be cumulative. You will have to learn the words, and learn them for good.

You should be prepared for a vocabulary quiz on the semesterís words every day. On some days, I will ask for definitions; on others I will ask you to use words in a sentence.

The quiz procedure will be as follows: I will select five random words from our stack of note cards. Then I will select five random students from a stack of note cards with student names on them. Then Iíll ask each of the students to each give a definition or a sentence for his or her word.

Four out of every five students need to answer correctly each day for everybody in the class to maintain an A for their vocabulary grade. If two students miss a vocabulary word on any given day, we will immediately have a quiz ­ and then find out who really knows the words and who doesnít ... AND the quiz scores will be recorded for individuals.

It will be incumbent upon a student who answers incorrectly to make amends with the rest of the class. A batch of cookies delivered the nest day usually does the trick.
