9. GO GREEK-PART 1! It is a known fact that 70% of the English language is derived from Latin and Greek languages. When students learn Greek and Latin Roots, these “building blocks” make it easy for them to recognize and decode unfamiliar words.

GO GREEK - PART II! Campers increase their knowledge of Greek and Latin Roots and continue adding to their interactive notebook. If students know the meaning of a root, they are more apt to determine the meaning of an unknown word that uses that root. Note: It is not required for students to have taken, GET TO THE ROOT OF IT PART 1!
