In this class, we will work from the vocabulary workbook The Joy of Vocabulary by Norman Levine, completing five chapters together. I have used this workbook in English classes for two decades and consider it the best tool I've ever come across for expanding understanding of the English language. Each chapter introduces a new set of Greek and Latin roots and prefixes, and provides a list of 18 to 25 words that show these word parts in action. For example, the first chapter's theme is "Number Words" which features number prefixes starting with "Bi" and going through to "Deca" as well as a list of words derived from those prefixes. Next, each chapter gives sets of exercises on which the student may practice usage and meaning. Exercises are varied and creative, and include analogies, practice with concise writing, and sentence usage (to name a few). With root meanings internalized, students will be able to approximate the meanings of words they have never seen--just by knowing the meaning of the roots or prefixes. This is excellent preparation for the SAT and other exams that require understanding of advanced vocabulary. Our class will meet twice a week for five weeks, and complete one chapter in the workbook per week, for a total of five chapters. Each student will need to get a copy of the workbook for the class. In each first session of the week, we will discuss the roots and word list. I will add to the book definitions and provide examples and additional perspective on the words. At the end, we will play a quizzing game. The next step for the student will be to complete the exercises for the chapter independently; then, in our second meeting for the week, we will discuss the answers to all of the exercises for the chapter. Week 1: Chapter 1 Number words (bi through deca) Week 2: Chapter 2 Phobia, Mania and Phile words Week 3: Chapter 3 'One' and 'Many' words (mono, uni, poly, multi) Week 4: Chapter 4 'Over and 'Under' words (hyper, hypo, super, sub) Week 5: Chapter 7 Medical Vocabulary (anatomical roots like 'card' and 'derm', suffix itis)

Hello!
My name is Lisa Bagchi, and I run many different classes on Outschool. Favorites include reading classes that center around discussion of theme, character, diction, and whatever else we can find, as well as creative writing groups in which we explore ideas through the written word, share work, and offer encouraging feedback.
I am a certified English/language arts teacher and have been a middle and high school teacher for over a decade. In addition to core English, I've created and taught many elective courses, including Poetry Out Loud, Flash Fiction and Fairy Tale Studies. I am also a private reading and writing tutor.
I believe that learning and play are deeply interwoven. I aim to create a feeling of community and joy in my classes, and to foster a supportive dynamic among learners. I love watching students light up, laugh, work through challenges, and become more confident learners.
I am also mom to a wonderful nineteen year old and a huge animal and nature lover. My favorite activities include pizza and a movie or playing cards with my son, my daily walk with my dogs, Moka and Floki, and sitting by the lake near my house with a good book. I also have three cats, one of whom likes to follow Moka and me on our walks if she catches us leaving! Moka may just show up in my Outschool classes from time to time...and a kitty or two may sneak in as well.
Hope to see you there!評論
