12 Ways to Learn Vocabulary With The New York Times
We have been studying vocabulary in the last week and I found this great article from Katherine Schulten ant the NY Times.
Here are 12 quick, easy and engaging ways to learn and practice new words by reading, viewing or listening to NYTimes.com. 1. “SAT Words” and The Times:Reading just the front page of The New York Times every day can introduce you to scores of SAT-level words in context. For instance, in this article about Prince William’s engagement alone you can find déclassé,obsolete, indifferently, fevered, naïve,saturation, virtually, speculation andsought. Did you know you can double click on any word in a Times article to read its definition? Or that the Learning Network has a Word of the Day feature that examines each new word in a recent Times context? To keep track of the words you’re learning, use our vocabulary log.

Do you have any activities that go with these words/vocab. lessons?
HELP! I'm doing a project with my science class using Notaland.com. There Notaland Poster information keeps disappearing. They may circles on the page from circling animal body parts but pictures & texts are gone. I'v got mad parents & tearful students. Noataland is not responding.
