  3. Extension Activity: Understanding Word Parts and Navigating a Dictionary • Using a dictionary, find and listone word for each of the four roots. • IMPORTANT: As you’re looking for words, think about the idea of taking the old pen and paper approach to education into the new age of digital technology to guide your selections. • Include the word’s definition and an explanation of how the root’s meaning plays a role in the word’s definition.

  4. Extension Activity: Context Clues Communicate Meaning in Short Stories • Choosefour words that use the roots (one for each root) and a two-paragraph story that incorporates four separate context clue sentences into a basic plot. • IMPORTANT: Keep the general theme of old-school methods to modern methods in mind as you create your sentences. You need to CONNECT your sentences to each other to create a basic story. Think about what your purpose could be when you choose your words, so everything flows together as a narrative. • Underline the word you use and context clues you in your short narrative.

  5. Extension Activity: Strengthening Writing through Powerful Word Choices • Choose three to five words for each root from this week’s instructional slides to incorporate into a Wordle presentation. • To create your word cloud, go to www.wordle.net and click on the “Create” link. Follow the steps, and you’ll have a miniature word poster to print in minutes. • If you find you’re having trouble, odds are you need to update your Java script. Follow the prompts on the Wordle Web site to do this. Using the computers in the IMC at school will help you avoid this problem. • I’ve included an example Wordle cloud made from all of our Latin roots on my Wiki for you to check out and/or print for your reference.
