Academic Vocabulary

There's vocabulary and then there's academic vocabulary. Academic vocabulary is what you will need to master during your stay here at ATHS-DXB so let's get started with that, shall we?

Here are common words we all know: answer, build, buy choose, get, help, need, show. Here are their "academic" counterparts: assist, construct, indicate, obtain, purchase, require, respond, select. Can you match the first group to the second group?

Here are some more "academic" vocabulary words for you to consider:
academic, relevant, extract, substitute, retain, item, technique,structure. Your assignment is to find the definition of the 16 academic vocabulary words and be able to use them in a sentence. You will find 8 of those sentences in your edmodo accounts that you must complete with one of the 16 words above. We will have a quiz on all 16 at the end of this week, God willing. See you in class!
