Word within a word--
The building blocks of our words.
List ten is complete.
Iso means "equal"
In math, there's isosceles
with two equal sides.
Convert and revert
both contain the word part vert
and that one means "turn"
-ate is a suffix
that makes "cause" verbs like create,
dominate, placate
when you encourage,
you strengthen somebody's heart,
and that's what cor means.
What's the difference
between a prince and princess?
The -ess is female!
What is a mutant?
It's something that means "change."
Hey, muta means change!
Finally, there's fug,
like fugitive or refugee--
A word part that flees.
ISTEP is coming,
But we'll be ready to go
thanks to our practice.
Extended response--
The students wrote an essay
all about reading.
Block 3 did C.R.'s
about Howard Hughes today.
1 and 2 did not.
They looked at sources--
How does a researcher know
If a source is good?
Classes on Tuesday
Are Acuity testing
with trusty laptops.
I hope students read
for at least ninety minutes
this three-day weekend.
