Learning our Rights through Vocabulary Usage

My students need to use this notebook to write definitions for 850 Civics and Economic vocabulary words and learn how to use them in a comprehensive sentence.

Ms. Kropik E.E. Smith High School

Fayetteville, NC Grades 9-12

I teach Civics and Economics. Our entire department works with 10th and some 11th graders. We are in a low economic area who was considered a low-performance school. Last year we worked very hard with our students to move out of the status being one of the bottom three low performance high schools. Our efforts were successful and are now we are located in the middle. Our goal is to be in the top three high performance high schools.

The entire school is going to increase their content vocabulary. Every department are will integrate daily vocabulary and subject area to raise the over all student comprehension in ones subject area but also for the entire school. We are the Civics and Economics Department who must teach their students approximately 850 words for the content area and an additional 36 to help integrate daily comprehension words. We need to build on vocabulary in our society if we are to set a higher level of educational expectations for the future generations. Everyone in our country needs to know their rights and understand "our" government.

We feel that if students have a good notebook for their vocabulary they will use it and write in it as directed. This particular notebook will give the students the ability to write the required definitions and use these words in comprehensive sentences along with their other vocabulary words the school wants to focus on.

Our schools vision and goal is to empower our students with knowledge and comprehension for their future. It starts at the high school level. Teaching Civics and Economics is an extremely important subject, but even more now due to our economic situation that is occurring. We truly want to empower our students so they become ready for their future.
