Vocabulary+Wealth

For our readings in Sean Covey's book __"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens"__ we will be revisiting new vocabulary in order to understand the authors intention and relate it to our classroom and everyday lives.

**Vocab Map** //Why:// By mapping vocabulary words, you will gain greater understanding of the meaning(s) of the word and how to use it effectively in communication. //How//: Either with an assigned vocab word or a self-selected one, create a diagram on a blank piece of paper (a sample map is attached below). Find at least 3 antonyms and 3 synonyms for the vocab word, research where the word derived from, as well as write 3 sentences that include the vocabulary word. Examples of words from Covey's book that we could map are: proactive, victory, synergize, commitment, visualization, and encouragement.

Get In Gear with Business Vocabulary //Why:// In business education, you will learn many terms. Rather than memorizing these terms individually, I want you to understand the relationship that the terms have to the business processes that we discuss in class.

//How//: Attached is a sample of my Get In Gear vocabulary worksheet that will be assigned in each unit. For each gear diagram, please write below it the meaning and relationships between the words. **
