Week 3, Day 2: Chapter 8 - More Vocabulary Practice

 

Chapter 8 – more vocabulary practice

Activities:

1. Look up the roots, prefixes, and suffixes of the words in the word list

2. See if you can find synonymous roots in that list

3. Do the same with prefixes and suffixes (a = not, abiotic; ad = to, toward, adaptation; ex = out, down, away, against, example)

4. Now try to create lists of words you know using those roots, prefixes, and suffixes

5. Find words with roots in languages outside of Greek and Latin (e.g., algebra has Arabic roots)

6. Look at the root list and try to find the opposite roots (hetero/homo, andro/gyno, long/lat, etc.)
