100 Words Every Freshman Should Know - VOCABULARY

During the second semester all students in Years 9 through 11 will study for vocabulary the 100 Words Every High School Freshman Should Know. Each week they will learn the spellings and meanings of 10 words and will be tested by word puzzles, anagrams and regular spelling tests.

The editors of the American Heritage® Dictionaries have developed this new book of 100 words tailored especially to high school freshmen. This second book in the 100 Words series focuses on the kinds of words that a successful middle school graduate can learn from rigorous coursework in a variety of subjects and that nearly every freshman will encounter over the course of the school year.

The words have been chosen with various criteria in mind. Some represent key concepts in important areas of the curriculum, while others are more familiar in meaning but present challenges of spelling or usage. All are words that students can expect to see regularly in their high school reading and beyond. To learn them is not only to gain useful knowledge — it is to step into a broader world.

The following is the entire list of 100 words:

1. accentuate 2. alliteration 3. analogy 4. antibody 5. aspire 6. bamboozle 7. bizarre 8. boisterous 9. boycott 10. camouflage
