Lesson 1: Word Parts base word: a complete word that can stand alone prefix: a group of letters that appears at the beginning of a root or base word to form a new word suffix: a group of letters that appears at the end of a root or base word to form a new word root: a word part that contains the core meaning of a word

Step 1 Distinguish between a base word and a root. Remember that a base word is a word on its own while a root needs a prefix, suffix, or both to make sense. Base Word Root Press -fract-

Step 2 • Add a prefix and/or suffix to a base word or root to create a new word. • im- + press = impress • + -ion = impression • + -ion + -able = impressionable • de- + press + -ive = depressive • ex- + press = express • + -ive = expressive • + -ed = expressed • + -ing = expressing

Step 3. Learn basic prefixes and suffixes. Prefix Meaning Base/Root New Word anti- Against body antibody co-, con-, com- With exist coexist de-, dis- opposite of agree disagree il-, im-, in-, ir- Not practical impractical inter- Between mediate intermediate pre- Before script prescription pro- Forward motion promotion trans- Across -pos- transposition

Step 3. Learn basic prefixes and suffixes. Suffix Meaning Base/Root New Word -able, -ible capable of, fit for perish perishable -al, -ial of, related to -verse- controversial -ary, -ory, characterized by -cur- cursory -ry, -y -ence, -ance state or quality of -flu- affluence -ist adherent, doer harp harpist -ion, -tion act of -dict- diction -less Without hope hopeless -ly, -ily in the manner of adroit adroitly

Prefixes prefix: a letter or letters added to the beginning of base words or roots to form new words base word: a word that by itself is a word root: a word part that contains the core meaning of a word word parts: the individual elements that make up a word

Step 1: Learn these common prefixes and their meanings. Prefix Meaning Example co-, com-, con- with coequal e-, ex- out exodus extra- beyond extrasensory hyper- excessive hyperglycemia im-, in- in implosion per- through perforation pro- forward proceed pseudo- false pseudonym re- back regress super- above superhuman

Steps 2-4 Step 2: If you encounter an unfamiliar word, find the root or base word and look for a common prefix. When you first read or hear an unfamiliar word, take the word apart. Identify the root or base word and decide whether the word has a prefix. Step 3: Think of other words with the same prefix. Ask yourself what these words mean. Step 4: Make an educated guess about the meaning of the prefix. Use your knowledge about other words that begin with the same prefix to help you.

Steps 5 & 6 Step 5: Define the word. Use what you know about the root or base word and prefix to define the unfamiliar word. Step 6: Check the definition in the dictionary. Compare the dictionary definition with your guess.

Today’s Agenda • 10 Minutes of SSR • Vocabulary Workshop: • Focus: Prefixes with multiple meanings. • Common Core Standards: • Acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression. • Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11-12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

Lesson 3: Prefixes with Multiple Meanings prefix: a group of letters that appears at the beginning of a root or base word word parts: the individual elements that make up a word; may include prefix, suffix, base word, or root base word: a complete word that can stand alone root: a word part that contains the core meaning of a word

Step 1: Learn the three most common prefixes and their meanings. Prefix Meanings Examples il-, im-, in-, ir- not; in, into irreplaceable; invert, incessant re- again; back, rebuild; recoil backwards return un- not; do the unhappy; untie, opposite unnerve a-, ab- not; away; in the act of

Step 2: Identify the base word or root and prefix, if present. • Take the word apart. Identify the root or base word and decide whether the word has a prefix. • EXAMPLE unassuming: “The base word is assuming and the prefix is un-.”

Step 3: Use clues to make an educated guess about the meaning of the prefix and the word. • EXAMPLE • Un-can mean either “to do the opposite”or “not.” Assuming can mean “to make an assumption,” or it can mean “presumptuous or arrogant.” • I know that un- means “not” in many common words such as undone, unreal,and unheard. In the sentence, • “Mary’s the smartest person in our class, but she’s very shy and unassuming.” • You can guess that the word unassuming doesn’t mean “not to assume or make an assumption,” but rather “the opposite of presumptuous,”or “modest.”

Step 4: Look up the definition in the dictionary and compare it with your guess. unassuming (adjective): Exhibiting no pretensions, boastfulness, or ostentation; modest.

Today’s Agenda 9/19/13 • Unit 1 Historical Review Guides Due • 10 Minutes of SSR • Review Lesson 4: Noun and Verb Suffixes • Complete the Lesson 4 Handout—due by Friday 9/20/13 • Common Core Standards: • Acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression. • Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11-12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

Lesson 4 Suffixes: Noun & Verb noun: a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea verb: a word that denotes an action, occurrence, or state of being base word: a word that by itself is a word root: a word part that contains the core meaning of a word suffix: a word part that appears at the end of a root or base word to form a new word noun and verb suffixes: suffixes that form nouns or verbs

Step 3: Based on what you know about other words that end with the same suffix, determine the meaning of the suffix. Step 4: Use what you know to define the unfamiliar word. Step 5: Check the definition in the dictionary.

Today’s Agenda • 10 Minutes of SSR • Review Adjective and Adverb Suffixes • Complete the Lesson 5 practice sheet—try to finish by the end of class—if not it is due at the start of class tomorrow 9/27/13. • Common Core Standards: • Acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression. • Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11-12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

Lesson 5: Adjective & Adverb Suffixes suffix: a group of letters added to the end of a word to make a word with a different meaning adjective suffixes: suffixes added to base words to form adjectives—adjectives describe nouns & pronouns. adverb suffixes: suffixes added to base words to form adverbs—adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.

Step 1: Recognize words formed by adding adjective suffixes. These suffixes create adjectives—words that modify nouns. Adj. Suffixes Meaning Examples: –able/ible able to conceivable –en made of leaden –ese native of Japanese –escent in the process of adolescent –ive doing or tending extensive toward some action –oid like asteroid –ous full of riotous

Step 2: Recognize words formed by adding adverb suffixes. These suffixes create adverbs—words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adv. Suffixes Meaning Examples: –fold in the manner of fourfold –ly in the manner of messily –ward toward, direction of downward

Step 3: Recognize words formed by adding adjective and adverb suffixes. Some adverbs are formed by adding an adjective suffix and then an adverb suffix. EXAMPLES extend + -ive + -ly = extensively riot + -ous + -ly = riotously

Step 4: Use adjective and adverb suffixes to help you determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. • When you read or hear an unfamiliar word with an adjective or adverb suffix, take the word apart. Identify the base word and suffix. • Think of other words with the same adjective or adverb suffix. Ask yourself: What do these words mean? What might the suffix mean? • Use what you know about the base word and the suffix to guess what the word means. • Compare your guess with the dictionary definition.

Note: The spelling of a base word may change when you add a suffix. EXAMPLES conceive + -able = conceivable messy + -ly = messily Lesson 5 Reteach.pdf

Today’s Agenda 10/4/13 • 10 Minutes of SSR • Vocabulary Lesson : Focus—Word Parts: Anglo Saxon and Greek • Complete the Lesson 6 Practice Sheet—Due by Friday 10/5/13 • Common Core Standards: • Acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression. • Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11-12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

Lesson 6 Word Parts: Anglo Saxon and Greek word part: the general term that refers to an affix, base word, or root affix: general term for either a prefix (a word part added to the beginning of a base word or root) or a suffix (added to the end of a base word or root) base word: a complete word that can stand alone root: the word part that contains the core of a word’s meaning. Many English words are built from Latin or Greek roots. combining form: a word part that combines with other word parts to create longer words. Many English words have Anglo-Saxon and Greek combining forms.

Step 1: Try to determine the root and any affixes of an unfamiliar word. Look for common Greek and Anglo-Saxon word parts. EXAMPLE: empathetic The root is path–, which appears in pathetic, sympathy, and pathology. em- (en-) is a prefix. -etic is a suffix.

Step 2: If you know the meaning of the root(s) or affix(es), infer the word’s meaning. Try combining the meaning of the word parts in different ways until one meaning or working definition makes sense. EXAMPLE: Em-isfromen-, meaning “made of.” -Path means “feeling.” Thesuffix–eticmeans “having the quality of.” Putting the prefixes and the root together, empathetic means “made of feeling.”

Step 3: Look up the definition in a dictionary and compare it with yours. Ask yourself: Is the general idea the same? In the case of the example, the two are very close. EXAMPLE: empatheticadj. based on empathy; being sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others.

Step 4: Read the word’s etymology in the dictionary. Ask yourself: How close is the word’s present meaning to its origins? EXAMPLE [em (from –en, meaning “made of ”) + Greek pathos, feeling.] Lesson 6 Reteach.pdf

Lesson 7: Latin Roots root: the part of a word that contains its core meaning prefix: a group of letters added to the beginning of a word to make a new word suffix: a group of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word etymology: the history of a word

Step 1: Become familiar with common Latin roots. Latin Root Meaning Examples bene good benefactor, benefit brev short brevity, brief, abbreviate clud, claus close, shut exclude, claustrophobia curr, cur run cursive, recurred, incur dic, dict speak dictation,, addiction flu flow affluent, fluid, fluent grat grateful gratuity, congratulate mut change mutate, transmute pend hang pendulum, pendant rid, ris laugh ridiculous, ridicule, risible scrib, script write inscription, inscribe, prescription var variation vary, variety, variegated voc call vocabulary, advocate, vocation

Step 2: Look for the root of an unfamiliar word. Use your knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to help focus your search for the root. Then think of other words that use the same root. What common meaning might those words have? What does the root mean?

Steps 3 & 4 • Step 3: Create a working definition. • Use your understanding of the root’s meaning to make a guess about the meaning of the unfamiliar word. • Step 4: Check the dictionary. Compare the dictionary definition with your guess. • Then look for the word’s etymology, or history. • Lesson 7 Practice B.pdf

Lesson 8: Latin Roots—Society and Law root: the part of a word that contains its core meaning prefix: a group of letters added to the beginning of a word to make a word with a different meaning suffix: a group of letters added to the end of a word to make a word with a different meaning etymology: the history of a word

Step 1: Become familiar with common Latin roots. Latin Root Meaning Examples civ member of a household civil, civilization judex, jus, jur judge, justice jury, juror, just, lex, legis law legislature, legal lic, licit permit license, illicit matr mother maternal, matron pax, pac peace appease, pacify populus people population, popular pot power potent, potential urb city urban, suburb

Step 2: Look for the root of an unfamiliar word. Use your knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to help focus your search for the root. Then think of other words that use the same root. What common meaning might those words have? What does the root mean?

Steps 3 & 4 • Step 3: Create a working definition. • Use your understanding of the root’s meaning to make a guess about the meaning of the unfamiliar word. • Step 4: Check the dictionary. Compare the dictionary definition with your guess. • Then look for the word’s etymology, or history. The etymology usually follows the word’s part of speech. Note that some letter combinations have different meanings. • For instance, the Latin root lex means “law,” but it can also mean “word.” The words privilege and lexicon are both derived from the root lex but have different meanings.
