You will get a copy of these instructions, but I will provide them here as well:
Vocabulary Quiz Homework
Information: By doing this assignment, you will receive credit raising your score on your exam. You will only receive credit if you follow the directions exactly.
Directions: Look over your test and make note of all the questions you got wrong in the vocabulary section. This assignment deals only with your incorrect answers. For every answer you got wrong, you will find the correct answer. Then you will name the part of speech (pos) of the correct answer and write out the relevant dictionary definition. (Some words have multiple definitions. Only use the one that makes sense with how the word is being used in context here.) Finally, you will write an original sentence using the word correctly (in any form) and underlined. An original sentence means it is a sentence you made up; it is not just copying one from the test or from the internet. Show me you know how to use the word correctly. This assignment will be typed.
Format:
#. Correct answer: (pos) dictionary definition.
Original sentence with the word use correctly and underlined.
Example: For the sake of this example, let’s say I got numbers 1 and 2 correct, but I missed number 3. This means my assignment will begin with number 3. You only complete this activity for the vocabulary question you got wrong.
3. Quest: (Noun) a long or arduous search for something.
I embarked on a quest to find my long-lost uncle.
Then, I would do the same for the next question I got wrong. If I got number 4 wrong, that would be next, but if I got number 4 right, then number 5 might be next, or whichever is the next incorrect number on my quiz.
NOTE: Number your corrections to correspond with the numbers on your test. If you got #1 correct on your test, then the first number for this assignment will not be #1. You might need to skip numbers. I need to know what number on the test you are answering in order to give you a score.
Additional information: When you turn this assignment in (Tuesday, March 21st), you must also turn in your test. This is so I can see that you did correct the questions you actually got wrong and so I can give you credit for this work. If you do not turn in your test, I cannot grade your assignment.
