Vocabulary Logs:

 Vocabulary Logs:

Throughout the quarter you will have 5 vocabulary logs.  Most of the words included in the vocabulary logs are from the Academic Word List (AWL).  

    The AWL is a list of the 570 highest-frequency academic word families that regularly appear in academic texts. 

 

 For each word do the following:

1. Find the word in the article and try to guess the meaning of the word from context.  See how the word is used in the article.  That is the meaning I want you to find in the dictionary.
2. Look up the definition in the dictionary and write it down.
3.  Find a collocation of the word.  Notice the collocation of the word in the article. For some words, you do not need to include a collocation (as noted).

• Use the website:  https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/  to find the collocations. 
• Use “American” English in the drop down window for dictionaries to find collocations for the vocabulary words. Be sure to find the meaning that matches with the way the word is used in the article.  

  4. Write your own sentence.  (You can use any part of speech in your sentence.) This needs to be a sentence with an adverb clause or adverb phrase that has something to do with your life or what is happening in the world right now.  Underline the vocabulary word in the sentence.  Check for correct grammar.
