Greek and Latin Roots

Common Core Standards
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.4.b

A root is a word part that has a specific meaning. From that root, many other words can grow!

Many words in English have grown from Greek and Latin roots. Knowing the meanings of roots can help you to figure out the meaning of new words.

View the short presentation:

Your homework for the next several weeks will be to learn the meanings of 4-6 new roots. You will complete a set of activities that will help you to learn the meaning of the roots. There will be a quiz each Friday on the roots that have been covered.

This homework will be completed on paper and turned in on Friday before the quiz. A "cheat-sheet" of definitions can be used for the homework. Please save the definitions in your binder. You will need them for the weekly packet. The cheat-sheet is also available on this blog under Student Resources: Greek and Latin Roots.
