“I never would have believed that students could study vocabulary and enjoy a great book like Twilight at the same time, but Brian Leaf makes it possible!”
– Peter Facinelli, Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilightsaga movies“Brian Leaf has taken the pain out of studying for standardized tests. He shows students how to use Twilight to increase their word power. Who would have thought that learning vocabulary could be so much fun?”
– Bruce Hammond, Fiske Guide to Getting Into the Right College.Product Description
Can you resist the allure of Edward’s myriad charms—his ocher eyes and tousled hair, the cadence of his speech, his chiseled alabaster skin, and his gratuitous charm? Will you hunt surreptitiously and tolerate the ceaseless deluge in Forks to evade the sun and uphold the facade? Join Edward and Bella as you learn more than 600 vocabulary words to improve your score on the *SAT, ACT®, GED®, and SSAT® exams!Use this workbook side-by-side with your own copy of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight!
• Each chapter of the workbook gives you eight words taken from Twilight, with page references for you to read the words in the context of your favorite novel
• Define the words on your own before turning back to the workbook for their actual definitions
• At the end of each section you’ll take SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT drills and quizzes to review and integrate what you’ve learned
• Plus, you’ll learn synonyms, Latin word parts, and memorization tools throughout the workbook
Can an obsession with Twilight actually help to improve your SAT scores?In Defining Twilight, Brian Leaf has given the worldwide bestseller Twilight a practical application, as an aid in studying for the all-important SAT, ACT, GED and SSAT tests.
Defining Twilight looks at 40 groups of words used throughout the novel, giving the exact page on which they occur. You start by writing what each word might mean by looking at the way it is used in Twilight, then immediately checking the definition against the answer on the next page. Following definitions, Leaf then looks at synonyms, analogies and completing sentence with the words and even includes a short quiz every few groups. Reading and defining are one thing, but with this unique connection to Twilight, comprehension and the ability to retain the word long term are improved.
While reading Defining Twilight, I enjoyed checking the words back and forth between the meanings, and finding them in Twilight. There are even examples in Defining Twilight where a previous word is compared to a later word such as prattled- A person who prattles is definitely verbose, such as Jessica when she talks about Mike. As someone who has read Twilight many times, I can attest to the fact that Jessica does indeed prattle, and is verbose when she prattles.
Another great part of Defining Twilight are all the pop cultural references. From Ferris Bueller, Austin Powers, Harry Potter and even Wii, Defining Twilight makes easy references that anyone can remember, while also making you laugh.The only criticism I have is that I wish there was a pronunciation guide included with the definitions. It could only help the comprehension to try and say the words out loud. I’m just sorry that my ACT and SAT days are over. I remember my mom trying to get me to study for mine, and how I resisted. If Defining Twilight had been around, I’d have gladly studied. All things considered, given Edward’s obsession with Bella getting into a good college, Defining Twilight is exactly the kind of book he would approve of.
Nobody knows Twilight better than you (the reader!) so we are confident that you will all come up with some amazing taglines. Good luck to everyone – these are some prizes you don’t want to miss out on!
