Today we went over root words for this week. Because we missed a week of root words at the beginning of the quarter, we have some extras this week.
- unus=one (as in unity, uno, unicycle)
- duo=two (as in duet, double, dual)
- tres=three (as in triple, tricycle, triangle)
- quattuor=four (as in quarter, quart, cuatro, quartile)
- quinque=five (as in quintuplets, quintet)
- se or sex=six (as in sextet, seis, sextuplets)
Next we moved back into poetry and looked at two CONCRETE POEMS from the book Blue Lipstick by John Grandits. Concrete poems are those poems that actually (literally) come in the shape of what the poem is talking about. We read The Wall and Pocket Poem from the book. Today's assignment is to make your own version of The Wall poem.
