Instructional Ideas
- While this is designed with words from the first six chapters of the book, you could easily do a second round with additional words (or with any other vocabulary list, for that matter)
Classroom Considerations
- Note that only one of the links to Greek and Latin root resources functions
- According to the directions, you will need to provide each learner with an index card
- You may wish to white out the one line meant for teachers that is present on the student handout
Pros
- A student instruction page and vocabulary word list are provided
- Provides a low pressure way for learners to orally share their vocabulary word with every other individual in class
Cons
- Keep an eye out for any spelling and/or usage errors
