09.15 - Roots and Annotations

Everyone had the first part of class today to work with the first set of roots and prefixes. The root/prefix sheet was completed individually and then people worked with a partner to complete the practice sheet. We reviewed responses on the practice sheet together in class.

Next, we reviewed the annotations that people had made on Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." We will continue looking at this poem tomorrow in class.

Handouts:
