This week, you made comic strips based on words using Greek roots. On Monday, you will have a "pop quiz" on words containing Greek roots. (Hint: This is not really a pop quiz since I'm announcing it...)
The 10 words/definitions you should know are below.
Phosphenes: The stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes
Misandry: The hatred towards men
Cacophony: A blend of unpleasant sounds
Dystopia: An imaginary place where everything's as bad as it can be
Monologue: A talk or speech given by one person
Monochromatic: Made up of one color or shades of one color
Synchronize: To move or operate at the same time or rate
Polygraph: A machine that is used as a lie detector
Pedometer: A measuring instrument that counts your steps
Pseudonym: A fake name
I've made a Quizlet for you, which is an online place where you can study and play games related to new words/definitions. If you prefer to study in your own way, that's fine too. But if you're interested in checking out the Quizlet, here's the link: https://quizlet.com/_4luk4q
Also, the title of this update may be confusing to you. I told you that every so often, there are hidden meanings in these updates. The title has a hidden meaning. If you scramble it, it's an anagram for a famous English poet/writer who died in the 1600s. Can you solve the riddle?

P.S. Book Club friends, please read to the end of chapter 14 of Sea of Monsters for our next meeting on Thursday, 3/22. If you're reading A Wrinkle in Time as well, read to the end of chapter 7 by Tuesday, and we can meet for our Book Club lunch then!
