The article, “Vocabulary Plus Technology,” by Thomas DeVere Wolsey, Linda Smetana, and Dana LGrsiham begins by describing how students retain new vocabulary words and other components of learning new words. The authors begin their studies with two statements they assumed were true.

nearly fifty years is now more relevant than ever, as we find ourselves in this exact position - we no longer have words left to use when we need to describe something truly great. And this is because of our use of extravagant and extraordinary vocabulary in everyday language. No longer do ordinary words such as good, or even great, hold the same meaning as they once did.

Students were able to recall the terms and their definition and were able to remember the way those words were…

You see Rand use it in the sense that it's a dreadful thing, as she says, “And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone”. (Rand,17) I also think another vocabulary word important to the plot is impotent, as it a word to describe somebody that…

Each time students match the definition with the listed words correctly, one (or two) scramble letter(s) will be revealed. When all the letters are revealed, everyone…

Jarriett Hicks The reading has some useful vocabulary that was worth noting as it helped me understand the context of the text. Like some other Spanish explorers, Cabeza de Vaca found his journey to be exciting as he was introduced to new species of plant and animal life. However, I cannot imagine Florida’s/Apalachen ecosystem to be much different from that of Spain since it is fairly tropical, but I could be wrong. The excitement was short lived as the Indians from both sides of the lake…
