Words Matter: Common Assignment 1 (Pre Assessment) For Students
This is the Common Assignment 1 Pre-Assessment section (for students) of Words Matter, a unit that helps students understand how words can carry multiple layers of meaning, as well as the way in which authors select words to convey deeper meaning. For easy use, files are available in PDF and Word.

When many of us think of “tutoring”, we picture the “homework help” model, where a student brings assignments for a tutor to coach them through.
