• Vocabulary
• Actively study words (more than just memorizing definitions)
• Strategy: vocabulary squares

• For each root: pick one word you don't know as well to study more in depth
• Fill out one set of vocabulary squares for each word (so at least 4 total)
• Use vocabulary.com to learn the word (this site does a good job explaining the word and how to use it)
• Use your laptop's dictionary to see the word parts (it lists the "origin" at the bottom that identifies prefixes, roots, and suffixes)
• Reminder: quiz next Friday
