Welcome to our Glossary of key terms!
During the course of this year, we will explore terms relevant to our journey in Health and Human Development . These may be Tier 2 words we use with every SAC question (e.g. analyse, evaluate, discuss) and Tier 3 words (high frequency words we'll hear and use a lot in this VCE subject e.g. indicators, wellbeing, limitations, enabler).
Turn to your neighbour and tell them what you think today's terms mean:
infirmity
wellbeing
dimension
Give yourself a rating reflecting how well you know these words using this scale:
1 star = I don't know the word at all
2 stars = I recognise the word but don't know what it means
3 stars = I know the meaning of the word but I'm not sure how to use it in a sentence
4 stars = I know the meaning of the word and can use it in a sentence
Add today's terms to your vocabulary bank before starting our first lesson:
infirmity
wellbeing
dimension
Next:
look up a definition and tell this to your neighbour (peer on your table)
write down what your peer tells you about each word (this helps to prevent copying the definition)
complete the FIRST checkbox - synonyms/antonyms - work with your neighbour if you need! We will come back to the other checkboxes soon!
