Unit 8 Vocabulary Assessment and Graphic Organizer

In this assignment you are going to pick a chapter from the textbook of one of your classes and do the following steps using this chapter.

Step 1: Select a Learning Objective (USLO) from the syllabus of one of your classes. You will use this objective to complete the following steps.

State the Learning Objective from your syllabus: _____________________________________________________________________________

Step 2: Picture of Coded Text – Use your coded text codes to annotate your textbook for that particular objective and take a picture. Remember to highlight, circle or underline key points, to draw connections between topics, and write any questions you may have that come up as you read. This all can be done in your actual textbook (don’t forget this works for E-Texts too, most allow you to annotate electronically). Insert a picture of this interaction below: (to insert a picture into a word document, go to INSERT on the top left corner and pictures to search for your picture)

Insert picture of your coded text below:

Step 3: Vocabulary - Knowing a vocabulary and its definition is a great start but a deeper understanding of the word is necessary to be successful on science and nursing exams. In this section take the vocabulary words that were identified in your coded text, list these words with their definition and then demonstrate your ability to communicate using these words by writing an original sentence. See example in table.

WORD:	DEFINITION:	Evidence of Learning through SENTENCE USAGE:
Example: necrosis	Necrosis – death of body tissue.	Without turning the patient regularly as she recuperates, necrosis could cause pressure ulcers.
