Yes, we've pushed the research stuff back another day. I'm ready to go, but I was missing some band students today and just didn't feel like starting things.
I forgot to mention the word parts we went over yesterday, so here's a list of those with the ones we went over today:
jus means "law" like with justice and unjust
lum means "light" like with luminous and bioluminescence
annu (also anni and enni) means "year" like annual and anniversary
mob means "move" like an automobile or mobile phone
rogat means "ask" like interrogative sentences or a surrogate
parl means "speak" like parliament (or parliamentary procedure) and parlance
cant means "sing" like an incantation or a canticle
apo means "away" like an apogee, an apology, or an apostle
sen means "old" like senile and senior
andro means "man" like an android or polyandry
gyn means "woman" like gynecologist or a misogynist
We went over appositives in greater detail and looked at a practice worksheet. We also took our vocabulary quiz (the students said it was more difficult than Tuesday's test; 48% of the students in my first class got an A on that first one, by the way) and had some time to work on things.
We will review research stuff and start looking at the Holocaust tomorrow. I promise!
