Building Vocabulary

Wednesday 4 September 2013 for periods 7, 5 & 6 and Thursday 5 September 2013 for periods 1 & 2

Devotional Text: Proverbs 4:7

Quiz: "One Ordinary Day, With Peanuts"

Mr. Stone over-viewed the format of vocabulary worksheets for the class and discussed three spelling strategies, prefixes, roots, suffixes, and infixes.

Students studied the Latin root -dol- and determined the meaning of multiple words using their understanding of the root meaning "pain" and context clues in the sentence.

Students also practiced using their understanding of the meaning of familiar words to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words.

Students were to complete three worksheets covering selected words from "The Most Dangerous Game," "The Interlopers," and "One Ordinary Day, With Peanuts."


Homework: Read the first half of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Red-headed League" (97-106).
