Root Words Mrs. Arthrell SAT Preparation WHHS Things to do: Create several Root word pages (follow instructions) Check your work against the rubric. Delete instruction pages Send all to Mrs. Arthrell arthla@whsd.net 1. FIRST THINGS FIRST • SAVE THIS FILE TO YOUR OWN FILES! (NOT A TEMP FILE!) TITLE IT: WR LAST NAME (EX: WR ARTHRELL) IF YOU DO NOT IDENTIFY YOUR FILE THIS WAY I WILL NOT OPEN IT AND YOU WILL GET A ZERO. • SAVE OFTEN!!!! 2. NEXT –READ!!! • GO THROUGH THE SLIDE SHOW AND READ EVERY PAGE • THEN COME BACK TO HERE AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS • IF YOU DON’T READ THROUGH EVERYTHING, YOUR JOB WILL BE HARDER FOR YOU • READ ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS!!!! 3. NEXT –DELEGATE! • Decide how your group will work. • I suggest that you split the terms among the group and assign a few to each member. Then you can blend the final shows together. • Have one person send me the final show but everyone in the group must keep a copy in case someone is missing on presentation day. • A Flash drive will be helpful in these transfers. They are cheap and necessary for the collegebound student. 4. Next – Research! • Googling will slow you down. • Go back to the WHHS SAT Page where you got this file and look at the sources I have found for you. Robertson’s Words is very useful, but only if you SCROOL DOWN THE PAGE and pay attention • You must work with the computer – it will not work by itself.

Reminders: • Remember to use SAT vocabulary – aim for grade-level appropriate words. • Please use a readable font and make everything clear for the viewer. (Points will be taken away for this) • Artistic license OK, but don’t overdo! • You have three class days only to complete this. Your work must be MAILED TO ME BY THURSDAY MORNING BERFORE SCHOOL NO EXCEPTIONS! • This means that you may have to work on your own outside of class. What a concept! • You must be ON-TASK and working – not socializing or playing with the computer – or you will lose points from your final product. • I am aware that we are NOT using proper citations.
