Academic+Vocabulary

Vocabulary  //Activity 2.1: Lets Get Started //

Academic vocabulary is much different from street vocabulary. I think that academic vocabulary is more literal, while street vocabulary has phrases that aren't literal. "what's cracken homes" -> How are you?
 * 1. What did you learn about academic vocabulary from watching the video clip?**

It's a more formal way of talking. A person would use academic vocab when they're talking to higher ups, older people, bosses, teachers, ect.
 * 2. How would you define academic vocabulary?**

I think that academic vocab makes others see you as a more serious person & will take you more seriously than someone who is using street talk. And I think it's rude to talk to a teacher like they're one of your friends or someone from the streets.
 * 3. Predict how academic vocabulary can help you be successful in your social studies classes as well as other academic classes?**

**Imply/Infer: In a story, an idea may not be directly said, but it's the reader's job to make an inference**
 * Copy the pair or group of words and **explain** the ways they are **similar** or **different**.
 * Bias/Point of View: Being bias is when you know both sides, but you favor one side, while POV is more mental. You don't really understand the other side. **
 * Evaluate/Assess: They both can include money. ex: evaluating an assessment's worth **
