This week I will give you a small etymology exercise. An easy reference to complete this assignment is – www.etymonline.com

Key Learning Concepts this week are: skimming and scanning for information, reading for thorough comprehension, non-prose reading, word study (context clues, stems, affixes and roots, dictionary use, and etymology) and finding the main idea.

We will also have a brief overview of the history of the English language, learning intelligences, and using Cornell notes.
