Each week the teacher will provide an explorative mini lesson on two Greek or Latin roots. Students will learn the meaning, origin, and various words that contain the root. After the brief lesson, students will participate in an interactive Among Us style game, called Trust No One. Learners will be divided into two groups, crewmates and imposters. Learners will be asked to answer a series of questions related to vocabulary words with the roots, synonyms, antonyms, or correct sentence usage. Learners will use their points to run investigations or call meetings to help determine who the imposters are in the game. The more questions a student can answer correctly during the game, the more opportunities the learner has to run investigations and help their team win the game.
