Alright, as the summer winds down and the days contract, this week’s Text is this lesson on the Latin word root uni. You already know, of course, that it means one. You also know that this root is quite productive in English, giving us words like unidirectional, unify, unilateral, and unique, all of which are included (along with a list of cognates in the Romance languages) on the scaffolded worksheet that is the primary work of this lesson.

Generally, I try to pair context clues worksheets with these lessons that point the way toward the meaning of the root under study. So I am uncertain what I was thinking or I attended when I prepared this worksheet on the noun discord for this lesson. Use it or not (and like it or not, which, as of this writing, I do not), but it is what I have for this at the moment.

If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
