Teacher
Name:
Marshall/Rice
Learning Target Addressed: I can recognize and
define common Greek and Latin affixes and roots. I
can verify my inferred meaning of an unknown word
by consulting general and specialized reference
materials.
Learning Task 1: Go to studyisland.com. Complete 15 questions on each of the following categories: Context Clues, Multiple Meaning
Words, Roots and Affixes. Record your score and return scores to your teacher.
Learning Task 2: Using your Greek and Latin reference guide in your binder and your vocabulary word lists, find five vocabulary
words for which you can determine the Greek or Latin root (and possible prefix and suffix) meanings. Taking what you know, explain
how the definition of the word makes sense using these meanings. Ex. Let’s say “astrology” was a vocab word. The Greek stem
“astro” means “star.” The Greek stem “ology” or “logy” means “study of” or “science of.” Hence, the meaning of astrology is the
study of the stars. Turn your paper in to your teacher when you return to school (you may put your Study Island scores on this same
paper, as well).
