Llegando a la raíz de las palabras: Cómo fortalecer el vocabulario (FLEX) Parte 1

In this FLEX vocabulary class, we will explore common Greek and Latin root words, practice their meanings with fun challenges and activities, and learn how to apply this knowledge to deciphering unknown words.  

Each class, we will focus on 1-2 specific root words. I will present a video lesson each week, teaching all about a new root word.  We will explore examples of the root word together, then create a word family organizer using related words to reflect on the root's meaning!  Learners will share their organizers with their classmates in the classroom using a picture or video, so their classmates and I can offer feedback and see their progress.  Students will work to make connections between the root word and their own experiences.  Students will then have an opportunity to practice using each root's meaning in multiple ways (handouts, video discussion, chat/messaging discussion, Flipgrid, student-paced Nearpod presentations, online scavenger hunts and challenges, drawing, etc.)

Video tutorial lessons will be added on Mondays at 8am EST.  Since this is a flexible schedule class, there are no live meetings; however, I will be available to answer any questions, provide encouragement/support, and facilitate activities in the classroom throughout the four weeks.  This is the biggest difference between my course and any other root words course you can find online!

NOTE:  Courses can be taken in any order or as a stand-alone class!  Each course will offer 4 NEW Greek/Latin root words to study.
