What is the Vocabulary List? The following quotation comes from Jim Burke’s home page. “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 (., What you read or create); verbs (., What the assignment asks you to do); adjectives (., specific details about what you must do); and adverbs, which provide very important information about how to do the assignment.”.
