There will be a short practice "test" where students will use their new knowledge to determine a word's meaning.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Students will learn four ways to increase their vocabulary words. Students will learn the difference between informal writing/language and formal writing/language and how to "code-switch" (change the words/language in writing) for papers. Students will learn five common Latin and Greek roots/prefixes to help them gain a sense of a word's meaning. I will present at least five common Latin and Greek roots and prefixes and will shares examples of these in words. Students will then be shown various unknown words with these roots and prefixes to help them gain a sense of each word's meaning. I will then explain strategies to help students increase their vocabulary words. Finally, students will practice elevating their current known words to stronger, unknown words and will practice using them. It will be a fun experience for students to increase their word knowledge-a necessary skill for writing success!
Learning Goals
To think more closely about what a word means-how to pick a word apart to wisely "guess" its meaning.
To learn new, strong words.
To help students think more about the words they use in their writing.
To give students more tools to enhance their word knowledge.
