Explain that understanding the meanings of Greek roots will help them determine the meaning of these words. Use words and simple phrases to help students understand the meanings of the Greek roots geo, therm, scope, meter, and logy. Allow students to make simple drawings in their word study notebooks to represent the meanings. Have students label the drawings with the corresponding Greek root. Blending Practice If some students have difficulty reading the words, help them read the words syllable by syllable. For example, point to the word altimeter on the chalkboard. Show how you divide the word into four syllables, between the l and the t, between the m and the e, and between the first e and the second t. Point out that there are two closed syllables with short vowel sounds, an open syllable with the schwa sound, and a closed syllable with an r-controlled e. Read each syllable and then blend the syllables together: al/tim/e/ter: altimeter. Continue to support students who need help with blending throughout the week, using the example words used in the lesson. Review Greek Roots tele, phon, photo, graph Focus Words: television, phonics, photocopier, graphic Write the words television, phonics, photocopier, and graphic on the chalkboard. Ask students to identify the Greek root and its meaning in each word. Call on students to discuss the meaning of each word and how the meaning of each root contributes to the overall meaning. Introduce Greek Roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Teacher Word Cards: geography, thermal, telescope, perimeter, mythology, geology Teacher Category Cards: geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Model Place the category cards geo, therm, scope, meter, logy in a pocket chart. Read each root aloud and explain that these are more Greek roots that appear in many English words. Hold up the word card for geography. As you say it aloud, run your finger under geo. Say: The Greek root geo means “earth.” The other word part is the root graph, meaning “write.” The literal definition of geography is “a written description of the Earth” which has come to mean “the study of the Earth’s surface.” I will place the word geography in the geo category. Hold up the word card thermal. As you say it aloud, run your finger under therm. Say: The Greek root therm means “heat.” The word thermal means “to come from, to make, or to keep heat.” I will place the word thermal in the therm category. Identify the Greek roots in the words telescope, perimeter, and mythology: scope—“target, see”; meter—“measure”; and logy—“study.” Discuss the meanings of the words and sort them according to the root word. Guide Hold up and read the word card geology. Prompt students to identify the root logy and its meaning. (“study”) Then point out that this word, like many words with Greek roots, contains two roots: geo and logy. Have them discuss the meaning of the word geology and tell you where to place the word in the pocket chart, choosing either the geo or logy category. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC.

Write thermostat, periscope, barometer, and ecology on the chalkboard. Have students work in pairs to sort the words and write definitions based on their understanding of the root and other word parts. Provide them with dictionaries to look up the meanings of any unknown word parts. Notice which students have difficulty sorting words based on root words. Have students look at each root word separately. Have them look for that root word in the word they are sorting. If they do not see one root word, they look for the next one, and so on. Have them use the following steps. Spelling Words with Greek Roots 1. Read the word. Unit Spelling Words: thermometer, thermostat, stethoscope, speedometer, mythology, altimeter, biology, gyroscope Review the meanings of the Greek roots using the anchor poster. Write the spelling words on the chalkboard. Read the words aloud. Have students identify the root in each word. Say: A connecting vowel is often inserted between two word parts. If one word part ends with a consonant and the next word part begins with a consonant, a vowel is inserted. Usually the vowel is o or i. Circle the connecting vowel in each of the first six words. Ask students to copy the spelling words in their word study notebooks. Have partners check each other’s spellings. Ask students to identify the meaning of each spelling word. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC Kit 3_Unit 27_TG.indd 3 2. Does the word have the root geo? 3. Does the word have the root therm? 4. Does the word have the root scope? 5. Does the word have the root meter? 6. Does the word have the root logy? 7. Underline the root in the word. 8. Sort the word in the correct column. Home/School Connection Students can take home a list of the spelling words and practice reading, writing, and spelling the words with a family member.

Ask students to read the word aloud. Then ask students to identify the Greek root in the word. Students should be able to identify that the word contains two roots. Have the class identify the meaning of the roots and tell what the word means using the meaning of the roots. Have students call out the other roots and their meanings, which they learned in the previous unit. Record the roots and meanings on the chalkboard. Common Features Sort ecology mythology zoology (geology) Teacher Category Cards: geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Place the category cards next to each other in a pocket chart.

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. Provide students with BLM 3 word cards. Have students record the category cards from the pocket chart in a five-column chart in their word study notebooks and sort the words in writing based on the root in each word. Point out that some words should be recorded in more than one column. Have students circle words in their sort that have more than one root. Review the sort to make sure the class correctly sorted the BLM 3 word cards. Meaning Sort Teacher Word Cards: same as BLM 4 Teacher Category Cards: earth, heat, target/see, measure, study Place the meaning category cards in a pocket chart and read each word aloud. Explain that these are the meanings of the Greek roots they are studying. Call on students to identify which meaning goes with which root. Hold up the word card for altimeter and say the word aloud. Say: When I say altimeter aloud, I can hear the root meter. I know that meter means “measure,” and that an altimeter is a tool for measuring altitude. I’ll place altimeter in the measure column. Tell students that they will sort words based on the meaning of the root in each word. Read aloud each word card from BLM 4. Discuss the meaning of each word and have students tell you in which category to place it. Have students use a dictionary to define any unfamiliar words. Remind students that some words can be placed in more than one category. Spelling. Have students sort their spelling words based on the meaning of the root of each word. 4 Word Study & Vocabulary 3: Unit 27: Greek roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Kit 3_Unit 27_TG.indd 4 ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC 6/10/10 10:34:34 PM Day Three Buddy Sort Buddy Sort geo therm geodesic geographically hydrothermal thermonuclear thermos Give pairs of students the root category cards from BLM 2 and the word cards from BLM 5. Have one student read a word and ask in which category to place the word. When the second student responds and the word is placed, that student then chooses a word and asks where the word should be sorted. scope meter electroscope microscope telescopic diameter odometer speedometer Have students use a dictionary to define any unfamiliar words. archeology astrology climatology dermatology theology Teacher Category Cards: geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Place the root category cards in a pocket chart and remind students that these are the Greek roots they have been studying and which they sorted for yesterday. Have students record the sort and the definitions of unfamiliar words in their word study notebooks. Applying Meaning. Give students BLM 7 and have them complete the activities, choosing the words with the correct root. logy Assessment Tip Use students’ completed BLM 7 to assess their understanding of Greek root words. Note whether they need more practice in identifying how the roots contribute to the meaning of the words. Providing Support ELs and struggling readers may have difficulty completing BLM 7 on their own. Have them work with a partner to read and complete it. Home/School Connection Give students BLM 8 to complete with a family member. Explain that they are to do the same thing they did on BLM 7 in class. Supporting ELs Make sure that ELs understand what to do on BLM 8 since there may not be anyone at home who speaks English well enough to help them complete it. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC Kit 3_Unit 27_TG.indd 5 Word Study & Vocabulary 3: Unit 27: Greek roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy 5 6/10/10 10:34:34 PM Day Four Providing Support Instead of having students read the passage independently, place students in small groups of mixed reading abilities and have them choral-read the passage straight through. Then have them work as a team to find examples of words with Greek roots. Name ___________________________________ Date ____________________________________ Give students a copy of the passage on BLM 9. Tell them that they will read the passage and circle words with Greek roots. After students have completed the word hunt, ask volunteers to share the words that they found and identify the Greek root or roots in each word. Have students begin lists of words in their word study notebooks. They can start the lists by using the words in the passage. Name ___________________________________ Date ____________________________________ Spelling Dictation An Eye in Space The Hubble telescope was launched into space in 1990 and began contributing a lot of information to several scientific fields, including astronomy and meteorology. Before Hubble, large and powerful telescopes had been located on Earth, so their view of the heavens was geocentric, or Earth-based. ke sure underlines to overprint ttributes) Word Hunt The atmosphere can cause many distortions to the images seen from a telescope on Earth. Observations from a satellite 569 kilometers above the Earth and outside the atmosphere offer much better views. Telescopes like the Hubble work by collecting large quantities of light, much more than the human eye can collect. Large diameter mirrors inside bounce the light from the primary mirror to the secondary one. The secondary mirror Then ask them Review Wordsto look through other texts, looking for words with these roots. Have them add the words to their lists. 1. 2.

One of the instruments is the Wide Field Camera, which sees three types of light. Looking at the different lights in space can help scientists figure out the origin of objects in the universe. Another instrument in the Hubble telescope is a spectrograph, a device that breaks light into its colors. This gives scientists several types of information about a body being studied. A third instrument is a spectrometer, which gives information about the thermal properties of objects in space. There is another type of specialized camera and an additional spectrograph on board, as well. The Hubble telescope got off to a bumpy start, and astronauts have flown space shuttles on several repair missions over the lifetime of the satellite. But most agree that the telescope has been a huge success, collecting vast quantities of data and advancing our knowledge of the universe. Answer Key Reading Passage (BLM 9) Reading Passage (BLM 9) Word Study & Vocabulary 3: Unit 27: Greek roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC Home/School Connection Have students take the reading passage on BLM 9 home to read to a family member and point out the words with Greek roots. Supporting ELs Make sure ELs know the meanings of the spelling words. Before student pairs use BLM 11, have the partners tell each other oral sentences using the spelling words. Spelling Dictation 3. Sentence Give students Spelling Dictation (BLM 10). Dictate the following words from last week’s spelling words to students, one at a time, and have students write them on their BLMs: telephone, symphony, paragraph. Dictate the following words from this week’s unit, one at a time, having students write them on the BLMs: mythology, thermostat, gyroscope. Spelling Dictation (BLM 10) Dictate the following sentence and have students write it on their papers: In biology class, I used a thermometer to check my own temperature and a stethoscope to listen to my heart.

Spelling Practice 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. 6 Word Study & Vocabulary 3: Unit 27: Greek roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Kit 3_Unit 27_TG.indd 6 ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC 6/10/10 10:34:35 PM Day Five Name ___________________________________ Spelling Assessment Date _______________________________________ Unit 27 Quick-Check: Greek Roots geo, therm, scope, meter, logy Use the following procedure to assess students’ spelling of the unit spelling words: Answer Questions Directions: Read the sentences and circle the word that best fits. 1.
