Vocabulary Discussion Board

I’m studying and need help with a English question to help me learn.

Purpose

Having a good vocabulary is a necessary skill for effective writing because using appropriate and varied words makes your writing more mature and collegiate. Often, one precise word can be used in place of a few weak words. Furthermore, understanding all of the words that you encounter in an assigned reading will help you to comprehend the entire text’s message more fully. A good practice is to circle or jot down on a piece of paper any words that you don’t know while you are reading, so you can look up their meaning in a dictionary. You may also use the context surrounding a word to figure out its meaning.

For this unit, you will be searching for and selecting two college-level vocabulary words from the assigned readings to post to our 4. Vocabulary Discussion Board.

Directions

1. Select two words from the community college tution and mandatory voting readings.
