Preparing for the Greek and Latin Prefixes and Roots Quiz

On Monday, 10/5, the 8^th grade will have a quiz on the Greek and Latin Roots you were to study at the farm. The quiz will consist of three parts.

I. Identification and Word Building

a. In this section you will be asked to define a number of the roots. You don’t need to know the origin (whether it is Greek or Latin) but you do need to know what each means. You’ll also be asked to come up with a word using the prefix/root

II. Definitions

a. In this section you will be given several word containing one or more of the prefixes and roots. Come up with a basic definition for these words.

III. Matching

a. For this final section, you will be given a list of words containing one of the prefixes or roots as well as a list of definitions. You will need to match each word to the proper definition.

Tip: The best way to study for this quiz is to know the meanings of each root and prefix well!
