You may wish to have students choose their root word or assign words to students. • Students use dictionary to find meaning of their root word, and choose one word containing the root word for their illustration. (for example: uni- meaning one. Uniform, unicycle) • Once students have a clear understanding of the meaning of their word, students begin to sketch out their idea. (Students may be required to complete a few sketches before choosing their final design for the illustration. This may assist the students in being able to clearly communicating their idea to the viewer.) • Students create their final illustration, labeling both the root word and meaning.
