01.12 - Roots and Formal Diction

We started today's class with two of this weeks roots and prefixes (see below). People brainstormed words that used these roots and prefixes explaining the connection to the root's definition and then wrote two sentences for each root using two of these words.

tele - distant, far off

dent, dont - tooth

Next, we returned to our work with the formal diction packet. We reviewed sections B - E and then people worked on sections F and G with others in their group. We discussed these responses together as a class.
