Writing - Q2 Week 2 Day 3
Today we started our study of the 42 most common Greek Word Roots. Students took a pretest to see what they know before the study. Then they were given the list of words. Using a spiral notebook (Note this mid-year supply need!) they glued the list into the front of their notebook. Then, dividing the space on the page up so they can fit at least 4 words per page, they started a Freyer chart for each word root.
For each root, students need to create a study guide, with 4 words per page. The guide for each word should include 1) the root, 2) the meaning, 3) sample words using the root, and 4) a picture illustrating the meaning.
NOTE - 6th period spent the first half of the period in the computer lab, finishing their theme analysis essays. These were DUE TODAY. Then we returned to the classroom so students could work on the word roots.
