DESCRIPTION This is a class designed for middle-level students who are serious about improving their vocabulary. Rather than memorizing word lists, my course focuses on learning and applying roots so that students can become better readers and critical thinkers. Students will be surprised at how many unfamiliar words they can figure out just by learning the meanings of roots! This class is perfect for students that plan to take advanced courses (particularly in STEM), want to prepare for...
By learning root words each week, learners have the potential to increase their vocabulary by over 1,000 words. Each root is taught alongside 3-4 words that include that root. Many of these root words are also rooted in the romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian), used in medicine/science, history, and even math! The goal of this class is to learn new words and to be able to apply that knowledge to other disciplines.
I am a certified secondary public school teacher of 7 years. I specialize in working with students with different learning needs at my school (gifted and special education). I have a bachelor of science degree in English Teaching (minors in special education, gifted education, and psychology). I have a MAE in English. I love teaching vocabulary and use this curriculum in my own classes.
Homework Offered
Students should study their roots using their notebooks. I recommend that students spend 30 minutes per week studying their root words. There will also be a weekly test. Optional reinforcing activities are also available.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Each week students have a test. The tests are NOT multiple choice. Students will define the root or provide words that include the root. Some questions provide students with words that they have to define based on the root.Grades Offered
One notebook (any kind) and a pencil/writing utensil should be brought to every class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
The student will use some 3rd party apps including Quizlet (posted with their words on the classroom page), Blooket (in-class to review words), Gimkit (in-class to review words), and Google docs (to take quizzes after class)

Thank you for visiting my Outschool profile! Since I was 5 years-old, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Now, 7 years in my career, I still love it. There is nothing that I enjoy more than helping my students reach their goals and become better...
