Each week we tackle a different Greek or Latin root word that is the key to unlocking the meaning of many common English words. We started with "unus/uni" = one and "duo"=two. With unus we figured out the meaning of unit, union, unique, unicycle, united, universal, university and even unibrow. Knowing duo is two we figured out duet, duel, duplicity, dubious and so forth. Students record their findings on index cards to study later. All this is in addition to our regular Wordly Wise weekly word list.
