Personal Dictionary
Vocabulary Project
Objective
Expand your personal vocabulary through reading experiences.
Description
While piloting the iPod touch, you are required to keep a personal dictionary through the notes application. From now on, whenever you read, have your iPod touch handy. When you begin a new text, start a new page of notes for unfamiliar vocabulary words from the text. Label each new notes page with the title of the text you are reading, and document unfamiliar words, their parts of speech, and definitions on the page. When reading books using Stanza, you may use the Stanza dictionary. When reading paperback books, use the dictionary application. At the end of the pilot, you will be expected to complete an assignment based on your personal dictionary.
Daily Expectations
