ギリシャ語とラテン語に由来する語彙の強化 パート 2

THIS IS AN ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS. THERE ARE NO SCHEDULED MEETING TIMES. STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE RECORDED CLASSES AT A TIME THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM. 

If you have earned your Vocabulary Supersleuth badge from Vocabulary Supersleuths Part 1, you are prepared to continue solving the mysteries of words! In this follow-up class, you will learn a whole new set of roots. We will use the roots from the first class, as well as our new roots, to determine the meanings of words.

Students will write the roots and accompanying information on a set of note cards. They will add these note cards to their binder from the previous class. By the end of the session, they will have a nice resource to refer back to. 

Each class will follow the same general format. At the beginning of each class, I will review the roots from previous weeks before diving into our new content. Each week we will study 2-4 Greek and Latin roots. The roots we study each week will all be related. I will introduce 2-4 vocabulary words. This is where the detective work comes in! Students will try to find the root by looking at the vocabulary words. I will then discuss the meaning of the root.

I will post a print-out in the classroom each week. Please print it out, and use it during class. Students can fill out the information on the print-out, then cut it out, and glue it onto the notecard. The students will need one notecard per root. They will use colored pencils to add information to each notecard so they can quickly locate the information they need. 

Each notecard will have the following information:
- root
- origin (Greek or Latin)
- meaning
- words containing these roots
- pictures to help them remember the meaning
 
I will also post some fun word games and puzzles in the classroom. For example, I will post Nearpod and Blooket links. One of the links will be for a memory game that uses the Greek and Latin roots. I encourage students to participate in the games. It is a fun way for them to work on the meaning of the roots. Some of the games also allow students to practice using the vocabulary words in sentences. This allows the students to see the usefulness of studying Greek and Latin roots. By working on these roots in varying activities, students will commit them to memory and have a good understanding of each root by the end of the session.
