With the announcement that we're going to be out of class until May, I have decided that we will participate in an online vocabulary program I have used before called Membean. This is great preparation for AP classes and exams and standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. It's going to require you to train on it for 15 minutes a day, 4 days a week, for a total of 60 minutes per week. I am going to give you 1 per minute trained per week, starting May 30 (this will not be required the next week due to spring break). This means there will be a Membean grade in Skyward each week. NOTE: You only get credit for minutes actively training - if you switch screens, or have multiple tabs open, those minutes get tagged as "suspicious" and you won't get credit for it. When you train, you cannot have any other tabs open and can't jump off the screen. This will help you build your concentration.
Go to membean.com/enroll and enter the code B8SQ98W to join our class. After you do this, it will ask you to calibrate (great vocab word!). This will give you your level (I am level 5, by the way - very impressive, I know!). That takes about 5 minutes. Once you do that, you can start training. Use this week to practice, and starting March 30, it will start to become a part of your grade.
