Today's SAT Word: Cumulative (adj): Made up of an accumulation of things.
The students didn't have to panic for the cumulative exam, because they had studied all of the material for weeks in class.
Today's Soundtrack: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
We have chosen this song -- made famous by the Rocky movies and games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero -- today because it is a fantastic "pump-up" song and a motivational tool. In addition (and since the song is famous for being associated with an action-filled sports movie), "Eye of the Tiger" is also LOADED with action words (a.k.a. verbs), and it is a perfect track to give an ear to since we are studying all of the many verbs that exist in the English language.
Today's Warm-Up Question: List for me as many verbs as you can possibly think of! Some students were able to reach 100 verbs OR MORE in the 7 minutes we used for our warm-up. Remember, verbs are ACTION WORDS -- things that somebody can DO!!!
