Vocabulary:
Vocabulary from Classical Roots lessons are completed weekly. We complete approximately eight lessons each nine weeks; three to four lessons each literary unit. Students complete a Key Word Activity Worksheet and Exercises A-C independently in class or as homework. Once completed we will go over each exercise as a class. Students will complete three review exercises in class and/or as homework as a review for the two lessons combined prior to each quiz. Quizzes will be given bi-weekly, they consist of 20 multiple choice questions using synonyms, antonyms, analogies, word application, least likely, most likely and best suited style questions. It is important for students to study these words each day in order to commit their meanings to memory as well as complete all exercises in order to practice the application of the words.
