100 words every freshman should know

I stumbled on a blog the other day that had lists of words... the one that caught me eye, since I work with a lot of high school freshmen was 100 Words Every Freshman Should Know. I thought it would be interesting to see how many of these words my freshmen actually know...
 Words like...

• marsupial
• nocturnal
• immune
• decorum
• particle
• fallacy

How many of these words do you know?

The more words you know, the easier it is to comprehend written language.  Many high school textbooks are written at a college reading level!!  School can be very challenging if you don't have the academic vocabulary to succeed.  We may start having a word of the day - from this list... Or maybe we'll save that for the English teacher!!  :-)
