Mr. Langley,
We should postpone the vocabulary assignment due date until Wednesday for many reasons. The main reason being students are more likely to succeed if we take it next Wednesday. We have just recently completed our last Vocabulary Test from Unit two this morning, only about ten minutes ago. If we were to start Unit 3 Vocab then all of the student's brains may still be focused on the words from unit two. Also today is Friday. On Friday none of the students really want to do anything therefore they are not going to put forth the effort on the vocab that they would be putting forth if it was Wednesday. This week is also mid-term. With it being mid-term students are loaded with other homework and have many tests. As a student Vocabulary is on the bottom of my list of priorities because I have so many other larger point assignments to worry about. If we wait until Wednesday to start Unit three vocab then I will not have as much homework and I will have already completed the tests that I am worried about currently. Waiting until Wednesday also gives us much more time to complete the assignment! The more time we as students receive to do the assignment, the better we are going to do on the assignment. Postponing the Vocab until Wednesday just takes a little bit of stress off of us because we are already so worried about all the other assignments and tests we have this week. If you give us until Wednesday to do the assignment I can assure you that my brain will be fully shifted from Unit two Vocab words such as exonerate, propitious, heinous, and a few others to the new fascinating words in Unit 3. Right now I just can not focus on unit three because I was up so late studying for my Unit two test that those words will just not get out of my head. We just need a little bit of a resting period in between to make the shift and become a little destressed from all the other worries in school. It would make the scores better for all of the students in the class.
