[LIT] Apples to Apples; was Re: vocabulary activities

[Mary Lou]

Hi Maureen,

7th and 8th grade students are using it in our school.  They love it.  We
have them look for the words in their reading, in movies, on advertisements.
It's wonderful.  We find them now using the words in writing as well.  

Another teacher in our building moved to Flocabulary.  Songs are hip-hop.
Students love that as well. 

I bought several for our special needs classes...(don't know how that is
working out) at bookcloseouts.com for five dollars.

Has anyone purchased Rock the SAT for their students? If so, how does that
work well?
