Hip-Hop Vocabulary

I'm not doing this just to be funny! I'm interested in building your vocabulary so you'll be successful in college level testing. These are the 500 most frequently used SAT words, set to music. If you don't like them, feel free to write and perform your own tunes using these words.

I'm paying for performances out of my own pocket, because that's how much I believe it will help. You don't necessarily have to memorize the whole thing, but you need to be SO familiar with it that it's almost second nature as you sing along with the audio. My goal is to have each of you have a disc to memorize them, and to take down the words into your notebooks as you go along.

Be ready for the tests!

Word list for number one:

myopic, ratiocinate, render, recapilulate, loquacious, verbose, gregarious, elocution, circumlocution, cogent, seminal, meritorious, redact, placate, tedious, tome, peruse, entomology, ostracize, pariah, persevere, latent, burgeon, diligent, paragon, commodious, clairvoyant, cosmopolitan, vast, voluminous, recalcitrant, exorbitant, extravangt, colossus, synopsis, cadence, cavort, boisterous, daft, deft.

Also, you should know: Omniscient - all knowing (God)

raillery - mockery, teasing

So, anyway...listen, practice, listen, practice....then perform. About 2 weeks.
