Students will be taught Greek and Latin roots to help understand words as they are reading. This course will help students read the components of state testing, SAT and ACT reading sections. Each week we will discuss two types of Greek or Latin roots. Students will work together to create a story using the words learned in class. Students will also be encouraged to use these words in their every day language. Material will be taught using Nearpod, an interactive tool to show the teacher how each learner is progressing through each lesson. Students will interact with the teacher and each other all through the lesson. Throughout the lesson students will work with Greek and Latin roots and apply what they have learned in the course of the class. Students will interact with each other, match the new words with their meaning and collaborate on a story at the end of the lesson. As the students progress through the lesson the teacher will determine how well the students are doing with their new knowledge. Week 1 - Greek root (fer) Latin root (port) Latin Prefix (trans) Week 2 - Latin root (stel) Greek Root (astr, aster) Greek suffix (ist) Week 3 - Latin root (dict) Greek root (graph) Latin prefix (co) Week 4 - Latin root (pos, pon) Latin prefix (com) Week 5 - Latin root (vert, ves) Latin prefix (de) Latin prefix (re)
