Study for your vocabulary quiz on Friday! Both classes have a vocabulary quiz covering the first ten items on the Latin/Greek root prefixes vocabulary handout. I will give you a word and underline the latin/greek root, asking you to identify the meaning. Then, I will ask you to also explain how the latin/greek root helps identify the meaning of the word. Therefore, be SURE to look up any sample words listed after the greek/latin roots on your vocabulary sheet.
