HW Oct. 11/12 due Oct 19
1) Word Study: Be sure to use the sentence in context and to write the word in color.
The first four are Social Studies terms that you will be using in class:
Colonialism – (noun) - the policy or practices of a nation extending or maintaining control over
previously independent territories.
Command Economy – (noun) - An economy where supply and price are regulated by the
government rather than market forces. Government planners decide which goods and services are
produced and how they are distributed. (Think former Soviet Union)
Market Economy- (noun) - A system of allocating resources based only on the interaction of market
forces, such as supply and demand. A true market economy is free of governmental influence,
collusion and other external interference. (think USA)

tools and methods to harvest and hunt for food, often resulting in little economic growth. Traditional
economies are often found in rural regions with high levels of subsistence farming
Consequence – (noun) - that which follows; a result.
Conspicuous – (adjective) - easily seen; obvious.

Designate (verb) - to choose for a particular job or purpose.
Diligent – (adjective) – trying hard and steadily to achieve a goal
Dominate- (verb) - to rule over; govern; control.
Write the definition of the suffixes. Write the three words that follow the definition, and use one word per suffix
in a sentence that allows you to understand the word’s meaning
de- (prefix) - down, away
Examples: descend, deteriorate, deregulate
-ate – (suffix) – to make
Examples: accelerate, vaccinate, calculate
2) Reading comprehension sheet: (Africa Overview) handout: You will write down your
