This 7 week vocabulary unit incorporates 3 different root words each week. The vocabulary words then incorporate the roots for that week.
These word lists were originally obtained from myvocabulary.com. In order to make vocabulary lessons more meaningful, I decided to change the way that I delivered the definitions. Instead of just giving the kids the definitions, or having them look them up, the students now read sentences which are intended to give context clues so they can figure out the definition.
This is a great way to prepare students for state test questions that will require them to use context clues to figure out definitions of obscure words used in the texts.
This Unit was used in a standard class.
