, trying to watch the feed as I work on grading. We'll see how multi-tasking goes...
Mr_Lisek
Sep 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT
A1: Context. Vocabulary on its own is useless. Ss need to understand the purpose of learning their new words.
#6thchat

Sep 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT
A1: Understanding the root meanings within the word.
