Today we went over the Latin and Greek root vocab words...this quiz will be on THURSDAY FOR ALL!! You need to be sure you have a) learned what the roots mean b) learned the words I gave you c) learned some words on your own that contain the roots (real words that were NOT on the list I gave you.
We continued with claim, data, warrant argument writing, and today we looked at the DOWNEAST MAGAZINE article "25 things every Mainer should know" and we discussed some claims and data we could use to prove those points...
