Vocabulary
In 8th grade, our vocabulary instruction focuses on Greek and Latin roots and PSAT words. Students will learn 12 words per week. Usually, these are assigned on Wednesday, and homework will be checked the following Wednesday. Weekly practice assessments take place a week after the words are introduced. Students will be summatively assessed every 4 (or so) weeks on his/her mastery of the terms and his/her ability to apply their knowledge in new contexts.
