Weekly Roots
Our Vocabulary System for Freshman English involves learning some of the more common Greek and Latin Roots. Students will have worked with many throughout elementary and middle school, but the continued exposure and practice will further expand their working English vocabulary.
Students will study ten new roots each week, with a quiz on Friday. The quiz will consist of twenty vocabulary words using the roots. The questions can be drawn from the current week or any of the weeks preceeding, because knowledge is cumulative! If the week does not have a Friday because of a holiday, we will typically not have a quiz that week.
Below you will find a number of documents that should help with the completion of this work, including the list of all the roots for the coming school year. If students are absent, they are still expected to complete that week's StudyGuide, because they have been assigned in advance.
Below, you will find the freshman list of roots as well as various study guide options I will update as the year goes on.
