Getting+to+the+Root+of+It

===This year, the 7th grade will NOT be using the orange Sadlier-Oxford vocab books. Nope! Instead, we'll be learning vocabulary based on Greek and Latin root words, which will help you figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words as you come across them. It will also help you if you are planning on going into any field in the sciences or history. . . you'll find that MANY of the words that are important in those fields are based in Greek and Latin.===

===For each unit, we will focus on three roots. You'll learn 10 words that are based on those roots, and you will be assessed both on your knowledge of the root meanings, and on those 10 words. The lists of words will be posted here, but you will find the activities and materials to help you practice and learn these words on my Schoology page, which you can get to by logging in through Clever (if you are a student) or here if you are a parent.===

Tests will be a variety of matching and multiple choice questions, and you should be well-prepared for them if you do all of the activities and practice games available to you.
