Lesson 13 – Test Preparation

Quizlet
We began with a quiz on Quizlet. We also had some time in class to use Quizlet. 

The vocabulary for the test will be from our Quizlet set.


Unit 10 Homework
We checked our answers for Paraphrasing Practice, Language Focus, Vocabulary Extension, and Vocabulary Reinforcement in Unit 10.

As was introduced in class, Prefixsuffix.com is a useful site for learning more about the meanings of affixes (prefixes and suffixes).

Prefixsuffix.com

There are two things to study to prepare for the test.
  • The 19AAV Test Vocab list on Quizlet
  • The collocations found in the Vocabulary Reinforcement B task at the end of each unit.
