Academic Vocabulary

A thorough survey of various textbooks, assignments, content area standards, and examinations yields the

following list of words. You cannot expect to succeed on assignments if you do not understand the

directions. The words fall into several categories, which are not identified on this sheet: nouns (e.g., What

you read or create); verbs (e.g., What the assignment asks you to do); adjectives (e.g., specific details about

what you must do); and adverbs, which provide very important information about how to do the

assignment.
