Rock out to vocab words
Vocabulary Accelerator combines word exercises with songs such as "Hot" by Keith Middleton and Rodney Willie, which include more than 30 words commonly tested on the SAT or ACT. (You can listen to sound clips at: www.defmind.com.)
Here are some excerpted lyrics (with vocabulary words capitalized), followed by a synonym-match exercise:
Got an e-mail that was sent to me
'bout a party happening this week.
It said we're required to be SEDENTARY
while we're in class sitting quietly
but not for long; we'll get you on your feet....
Same old MONOTONY can make you weak.
We can RECTIFY it....
I got the message
from my best friend: "Yo, this party is hot!"
I hung up the phone.
Hot!
Temperature's changing.
Hot!
IGNITED and flaming.
Hot!
There's no mistaking,
CONFLAGRATION fires RAZING,
it's so EXHILARATING, exciting, INVIGORATING....
