VOCAB LESSON 6: Study Guide
This week’s words build on the words you learned last week. Last week you learned words that
mean BIG AND FULL and thin and small. This week’s words are words you can use to boost
yourself up—all words about being BIG, PLENTY, and GREAT.
For example, last week you learned that a small version of something is a MICROCOSM. This
week, you’ll learn that MACROCOSM means something that is great and big, like the universe
or like the entire human race!
This week’s roots are:

COPIA – “plenty”

MAKROS – “large”

MEGAS – “great”

MAGNUS – “great”

POLY – “many”
