The Word Tree

In Humanities this year we did three rounds of Latin root presentations, and each person recieved a root to do each time.  I enjoyed this activity because it was cool how many different roots there were, enough to have 20 people present 3 and have so many more to spare!  It was also very easy for me, because I usually remember the words, and finding them isn't so hard either, since I can just search the root in the dictionary on my kindle and all the words with the root pop up.

In my first presentation, I was assigned the root poly-, which means many.  I had five words and definitions for those words, which was about average for the assignment.  I could've improved by picking easier words that are less challenging to explain.  I could've also picked a wider variety of words, because two of my words were shapes (polygon and polyhedron), and those were the only easy ones to explain.  I think that I presented it pretty well.  Well, better than most other times I've presented at least.
