Description
Class Experience
***ESL friendly! This class is a great way to help build English vocabulary!*** In this Ongoing class, we will learn and discuss one new word each week. Together, we’ll learn the definition of the word, its part of speech, its synonyms and antonyms, and about the morphemes (prefixes, bases and suffixes) that build the word, or that could be added to the word to create new words in its family. We’ll learn interesting facts about the word’s history and origins and look at examples of its usage...
For each word, students will learn how it is spelled, what parts (morphemes) make it up, its history and origins, and see examples of how it is used. Together, we'll practice using it in a sentence or short story.
I have twenty years of classroom teaching experience at the elementary level and extensive professional development experience and learning about word origins and history.
There won't be any homework other than to challenge students to try using the week's word in their conversation or writing.
Learners should have a notebook they can use to record the words we learn and practice using them in a sentence.
15 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
This class will utilize online resources including: https://www.etymonline.com https://www.dictionary.com https://www.vocabulary.com https://www.thesaurus.com However, students will not need to access these sites directly as they will be shared via teacher screen share.
