Words of the Week—Difficulty

Hello,

     Here are your Words of the Week; the theme is levels of difficulty. Each word, regardless of its part of speech, indicates a level of difficulty or a problem. They are, in alphabetical order, as follows.

Word (Origin)	Part of Speech	Definition
1. arduous (L)	adj.	involving or requiring great, strenuous effort; very difficult
2. elementary (L)	adj.	basic; easy to deal with; uncomplicated
3. tricky (OF)	adj.	requiring care and skill because it is difficult or awkward
4. problem (G)	n.	a situation considered unwelcome or harmful that needs to be dealt with
5. problematic (G)	adj.	presenting a challenge or difficulty; doubtful or questionable

Apply these to today's Make a List assignment, and study them, including spelling and part of speech, for the Thursday Think.

     I will stay after tomorrow to help any students with work who need it. If you are missing assignments or do not understand some material, stay for help. This is not, however, social time for you to waste with friends; I expect results. Let me know if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. DeMaris
