Welcome to IAT

To the new students of G10-04 and G10-09, I would like to welcome you to IAT. The teachers and staff are here to help you reach your fullest educational potential which will lead to your success in your later life. You were chosen because the administrators here think you can succeed given the right encouragement and support from all of us.



Now that we have finished our first day of classwork, I want to remind you all of the importance of coming to class prepared with all of your school supplies, including pencils,notebooks and dictionaries. The last item, dictionaries, is of utmost importance for your English classes, especially with the assignments we have to work on this week.



Here are the vocabulary words we are required to know for unit 1:

Unit 1 vocablary

Communicate, Exchange, Information, Compare, Anger, Poetry, Jokes, Persuade,

Transform, Ancient, Develop, Influence, Infinite, Media, Advertise, Neighbor

Sibling, Surname, Landmark

We want to be able to tell whether the above words are nouns, verbs, or adjectives and figure out what are some of the derivatives of these words. For example, communicate is a verb and its noun counterpart a word that is very common in English language vocabulary is communication. We will practice using these words in context as well during class.

Again, welcome to IAT. It will be a challenging year and we will have plenty of work to keep us busy. I'm sure you all will do well.
