Friday 8/30 Know Your Roots!

Today we will play a game to practice using Greek and Roman roots in vocabulary. This is very helpful in SAT preparation.

First, find your team.

The Rules of the Game:
  1. Brainstorm as many words as possible that include the give word root. You will have a time limit of one minute.
  2. When time is up, no writing!
  3. Group with most words will read off their list.
  4. Any group sharing a word will speak up. If a word is shared, all parties must mark that word off the list.
  5. Anyone with an unshared word will check to see if others have it. 
  6. Group with most unshared words wins the round.
  7. NOTE: if a group believes you've created a word, they are welcome to call you out for a definition. If you cannot provide one, you will not get the point. 
  8. Winner of most rounds gets a free late homework pass.


Homework: Nope!
