Activity # 2.1: Lets' Get Started: 1. What did you learn about academic vocabulary from watching the video clip? 2. How would you define academic vocabulary? 3. Predict how academic vocabulary can help you be successful in your social studies classes as well as other academic classes?
1. I learned that you should use academic vocabulary in order to get what you want to say across. 2.Academic vocabulary is proper English that is used and understood by everyone not just by some. 3.It will allow me to relay what i am trying to say in a proper way allowing it to be received in a proper and understanding way. it helps you to relay what you are trying to say in an articulate way that can be understood by everyone not just some which is extremely important.
2.2: What you know about Academic terms
Analyze/test and quizzes; pick the information apart and develop ideas about the informations; "analyze the text" Assess/test and quizzes; figure out what's going on; "assess the problem at hand" Bias/ ; opinions; "you have a bias opinion" Context/test and quizzes ;information in a passage; "use context clues" Correlate/ Criteria/ Debate/ to voice your ideas behind a subject against someones opposing ideas; "presidential debate" Evaluate/ fully check over; "at the end of the summer i'm going to give you an evaluation of how you work" Inference/ take a guess based on what you know; "write and inference of the excerpt" Imply/to say something without saying it; "what are you implying?" Interpret/ to perceive using your view; "how did you interpret that last comment?" Justify/ give reason behind doing something; "don't try to justify your actions" Thesis/ main idea of an excerpt; "write a thesis statement for your essay" Perspective/ how someone is viewing something; "everyone views things from a different perspective" Point of View/ how someone is viewing something; "what's your point of view for this topic"
primary sources/ first hand documents or artifacts from an event
secondary sources/ documents or artifacts made after the fact that use facts from a primary source to better explain what happened. 2.3 Imply/Infer:they are similar because neither is a definite; they are different because implying is when you know something but dont exactly say it and infering is like taking a guess at something Bias/Point of View:they are similar beacuse they both deal with how you look at something; POV is just you position on a subject though, bias is when you lean more towards one side of the argument or one of the views for a specific reason; for example you're on the jury to convict your best friend of murder, you are going to have a bias point of view because you have a personal relationship with that person Evaluate/Assess:they are similar because they both deal with figuring out, or sizing up something; they are different because when you evaluate something you fully check it when you assess you get an idea on what you are assessing thesis/debate: they are similar because both propose an argument and try to support that argument; they are different because a thesis is usually a part of an excerpt of literature and its trying to draw up an argument with the reader; a debate and usually spoken between 2 or more opposing parties with different ideas
2.5
I find the visual thesis more useful because it breaks down the main idea into key words making it very simplified and easy to look at and understand easily.

Bias/Point of View:they are similar beacuse they both deal with how you look at something; POV is just you position on a subject though, bias is when you lean more towards one side of the argument or one of the views for a specific reason; for example you're on the jury to convict your best friend of murder, you are going to have a bias point of view because you have a personal relationship with that person
