Day One
Supporting ELs
Several of the Greek and Latin elements
have cognates in Spanish and may help
Spanish-speaking students understand and
define new words with the same elements.
The elements appear in the cognates
la madre/mother; el padre/father; el
cronometro/clock; el doctor/doctor.
Blending Practice
If some students have difficulty reading the
words, help them read the words syllable
by syllable. Write the word indoctrinate
on the chalkboard. Point out that the
word has five vowels but only four vowel
sounds. This indicates four syllables.
Divide the word on the chalkboard:
in/doc/trin/ate. Point out how much
easier it is to read small chunks of the
word, especially when the word chunks
look like small words students already
know. Read each syllable and then blend
the syllables together: in/doc/trin/ate:
indoctrinate. Continue to support students
who need help with blending throughout
the week, using the example words used in
the lesson.
Review Greek and Latin Elements for
Care and Illness
Focus Words: secure, manicure, sympathy, pathetic, claustrophobia, arthritis,
volunteer, benevolent
Say the word secure aloud and ask students to identify the Greek or Latin element.
Ask them what it means. (cur—“care”) Repeat with the words sympathy (path—
“suffer, feel”), claustrophobia (-phobia—“fear”), arthritis (-itis—“inflammation”),
and volunteer (vol—“will, willing”).
Write the words on the chalkboard and ask students to copy them into their word
study notebooks. Have them underline the Greek or Latin element and use slashes to
divide each word into syllables.
Introduce Greek and Latin Elements for
Time and Family chron, mat/matr, pat/patr,
onym, doc
Model
Write the following Greek or Latin elements on the chalkboard and read them aloud:
chron, mat/matr, pat/patr, onym, doc.
Say: As we’ve learned about other Greek and Latin elements, each of these elements
means something. Chron means “time,” mat and matr mean “mother,” pat and
patr mean “father,” onym means “name,” and doc means “teach.” Write the
meaning of each element on the chalkboard.
Create a word web with the root chron. Write each word on the chalkboard as you
say it. Say: I know some words that have the root chron in them. The word chronic
begins with chron. It means “lasting a long time.” The word chronicle means “a
time-ordered historical record.” Continue adding other words with chron, such as
chronometer, chronology, and chronological, to the word web.
Guide
Refer to the anchor poster and point out that roots can appear in different parts of
words.

Work with students to create word webs on the chalkboard of words they know or
have heard of for the remaining Greek and Latin elements. If students need help
getting started, you may suggest one word for each element: maternal for mat/
matr, patron for pat/patr, homonym for onym, document for doc.
Ask students to use what they know about the meanings of the elements to help
them figure out the meanings of the words on the chalkboard.

Kit 4_Unit 20_TG.indd 2

6/8/10 5:12:20 PM
Reinforce for students that splitting words into parts can help them understand
a word’s meaning. For example, the word antonym means “opposite name.”
Students may recognize that the prefix means “anti” or “against.”
Apply
Have students work in pairs or small groups to create word webs in their word
study notebooks. Have them use what they know about Greek and Latin elements
to define the words. Encourage students to use dictionaries to look up words they
don’t know.
Assessment Tip
Note which students have a large number
of spelling words in the Don’t Know It
column in their word study notebooks.
Encourage these students to work with
partners to use the words in oral and
written sentences so that they become
comfortable with their meanings and
spellings.
Providing Support
Spelling Words with Greek and Latin
Elements
Unit Spelling Words: chronicle, doctrine, eponym, chronic, matrix, matron,
patriotic, docile
Write these words on the chalkboard: chronicle, doctrine, eponym. Tell students
that they already know how to spell a chunk of each word because they know the
Greek or Latin elements in the words.
Rewrite the words on the chalkboard in syllabic form: chron/i/cle, doc/trine,
ep/o/nym and remind students that splitting words into syllables can help them
spell longer words. Point out the short vowel i and o in chronicle and eponym
that fall between consonants.
Write these words on the chalkboard: chronic, matrix, matron, patriotic, docile,
and underline the Greek or Latin element in each word. Say the words aloud and
have students repeat the words after you. Work with students to rewrite the words
in syllabic form.
Ask students to create a four-column chart in their word study notebooks titled
“How Well Do I Know These Words?” Have them use the following headings:
Don’t Know It, Have Seen or Heard It, Think I Know the Meaning, Could
Use or Define the Word. Have students write each spelling word in a column
according to their knowledge of the word.
Use the Greek and Latin elements as a
basis for a discussion about how words
derived their meanings. The word eponym
comes from epi “after” and onym “name”
and refers a person after whom a place
or a word is named. For example, William
Penn is the eponym of Pennsylvania.
Ask students if they can think of other
eponymous names. Docile, which means
“submissive,” comes from the Latin word
for “being easily taught.” A doctrine is
“something that is taught” such as rules
or beliefs. The definition of matrix is
“something from which something else
originates or develops.” Ask students how
this definition relates to the word mother.

Students can take home a list of the
spelling words and practice reading,
writing, and spelling the words with a
family member.
Discuss the meaning of each spelling word and ask students to use the words in
oral sentences.
Ask students to use each spelling word in a written sentence in their word study
notebooks.

Providing Support
Help students see that sometimes the i in
the spelling words sounds like /ĭ/ in tin
and sometimes sounds like /ē/ in teen. For
example, chronic, chronicle, and doctrine
have the short i sound, while patriotic
has both the long e sound and the short i
sound (/pā/ /trē/ /ŏt/ /ĭc/).
Review Greek and Latin Elements for Time and
Family chron, mat/matr, pat/patr, onym, doc
Write the words chronology, maternal, patriarch, anonymous, and documentary
on the chalkboard. Ask students what Greek or Latin elements are found in these
words. Ask them what each element means. Have students turn to a buddy and work
together to come up with definitions for these words.

Home/School Connection
Have students take home BLM 6 to
complete with a family member. Students
can also take home the word cards and
share their sorts with a family member.
Supporting ELs
Because some ELs may not have someone
at home who speaks English well enough
to work with them on BLM 6, make
sure that they understand what they are
supposed to do on the BLM.
Think aloud: Every syllable has one vowel sound. A syllable may have more than
one vowel letter, but the letters make just one sound. Looking at this word, I see
three vowels and I think there are three vowel sounds. I recognize the root doc,
which makes one syllable, and the suffix -ment, which makes another syllable. If I
divide the word between the root and the vowel u and before the suffix, I get three
syllables: doc/u/ment: document. That sounds right. I’ll place this word in the
category Three Syllables.
Give students the category cards from BLM 2 and the word cards from BLM 3. Ask
them to sort the words into the appropriate categories. After students have finished
sorting the words, ask buddies to compare their sorts to see if they are the same.
Blind Sound Sort
Teacher Word Cards: same as BLM 4
Teacher Category Cards: Two Syllables, Three Syllables, Four or More Syllables
Place the category cards in a pocket chart so students can see them. Give each
student a set of syllable category cards from BLM 2 and explain that they will listen
for the number of syllables in the words.
Say the first word. Have students listen carefully, decide on the number of syllables
in the word, and then hold up the appropriate category card. When all students are
holding up a card, show them the word, read it again, and place it in the correct
category on the pocket chart. If necessary, write the word on the chalkboard and
show how you divide the word into syllables.
Spelling. Point out that /k/ is spelled in two different ways in the spelling words.
Write the words chronic, chronicle, patriotic, and doctrine on the chalkboard, then
underline the letters that spell /k/. Tell students they can remember the digraph ch
at the beginning of chronic and chronicle because of the Latin root for time, chron.
Have students practice writing the words several times in their word study notebooks.

Teacher-Directed Sound Sort
Teacher Word Cards: same as BLM 5
Teacher Category Cards: chron, doc, mat/matr, onym, pat/patr
Place the category cards in a pocket chart so that students can see them.
Hold up the word card for patron and model reading and sorting the word
Say: When I divide this word into syllables between the a and the t, I have an
open syllable with a long vowel sound: /pay/. The second syllable sounds like
the word on: tron. When I divided the word into syllables, I split the root: patr.
I know that the meaning of this root has something to do with father. The word
patron actually means “someone who supports a person, institution, or cause.”
This makes sense because the original meaning comes from the Latin for
“protector” which is derived from the Latin root patr. I’ll place this card under
the root pat/patr in the pocket chart.
Show students the remaining teacher word cards (from BLM 5), one at a time. Ask
them to help you identify the root, discuss each word’s meaning, and tell where to
place the card in the pocket chart.
Divide students into pairs. Give each pair a set of word cards BLMs 3–5 (or a
selection from the set of word cards), and a dictionary.
Have the pairs review the meaning of each word or find its meaning in the
dictionary. Have them work together to decide on two or more categories into
which they will organize their cards.
After groups have completed their sorts, have them share their results with the rest
of the class.
Applying Meaning. Give students BLM 7 and ask them to complete the cloze,
choosing the correct word to fill in each blank. Remind them to pay attention to
their spelling.

it chronicles the journeys of seven celebrities in search of clues to their family
histories. Each show is a documentary about one of the stars’ discoveries, and
each show reveals amazing facts about the past.
New Words
In one episode, film and Broadway star Matthew Broderick delves into
the paternal side of his family, looking for documented information about his
grandfather and great-great grandfather. Although Matthew had been close to his
mother and knew a great deal about the maternal side of his family, much of his
father’s history was a mystery to him.
As Matthew follows historical leads during the show, he is stunned to
learn of the untold patriotic feats of his ancestors. His grandfather Joe had
been a life-saving medic in the fields of WWI in France, where he risked his
own life to save his fallen comrades. Joe was awarded a Purple Heart in 1918

Give pairs of students Spelling Peer Check (BLM 11). While one student reads the
spelling words from his or her word study notebook, the other student writes the
words in the First Try column. After the second student has spelled the words, the
first student places a check mark next to words spelled correctly.
For the second try, the first student may prompt the second student by sounding out
the words that were spelled incorrectly the first time. If the second spelling attempt is
correct, the first student places a check mark in the Second Try column.
Then students switch roles.

Greek and Latin Elements for Time and Family
Use the following procedure to assess students’ spelling of the unit spelling words:
•Say a spelling word and use it in a sentence.
•Have students write the word on their papers.
•Continue with the remaining words on the list.
•When students have finished, collect their papers and analyze their spelling of
the words.
•Use the assessment to plan small-group or individual practice.
Quick-Check Assessment
Assess students’ mastery of Greek and Latin elements for time and family using
the Quick-Check for Unit 20.
Suggestions for Independent Practice
Alphabetizing. Give students a set of word cards and have them alphabetize
the words. Alternatively, give pairs of students word cards and have one student
read the words aloud one by one, while the other student writes the words in
alphabetical order in his or her word study notebook.
Draw the Etymology. Have students create drawings to show the etymology, or
origin, of a word from the unit. For example, for antonym, a student could draw
something to indicate the prefix anti- and something to show the word name.
Crossword Puzzle. Give students a set of word cards and have them select up to
ten words they will use to make a crossword puzzle. Ask them to write clues with
answers that depend on the meanings of the words.
How Well Do You Know These Words? Have students go back to the charts they
created earlier in the unit and assess how well they know the words now.
