FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Greek & Latin Word Wall for Reading Math Science SS Gifted CCSS”

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS and tagged free on February 9, 2016 by Patrice Manchola (updated on February 8, 2016)

by Simone Ryals

3rd – 12th Grade

This has helped tremendously in helping my students understand the etymology of words, which is emphasized in the CCSS for ELA.

This is a compilation of over 80 Greek and Latin word parts, complete with definitions, that I use in my classroom. Greek origins are shown in green and Latin in purple in a large and clear font for easy viewing.

To make it interactive, students are presented with the full set of words and word parts, and as they are encountered in reading, math, science, or social studies, the students add them to the wall.

The effects are tremendous. “Iron” being abbreviated as Fe makes sense. If “tele” means far and “phone” means sound, then telephones transmit sounds from far away. Suddenly, they start making connections to television, microphone, microscope… They “get” it!

This can be adapted to most intermediate and higher grade levels; and of course, laminating is optional but will keep them in good condition for years. Another suggestion is to use them in small groups or individually as a game wherein they make lists of words containing these parts, with points awarded to the most unique (not listed by others) words. Fits in perfectly with word study.

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

This is simple but a tough one for the kids to remember. When writing a rough draft they should skip a line between sentences. This will leave room for proof-reading comments. We are programmed to finish writing one line and just going to the next, so students will really need to remember this. I’ve often told them to use a marker or pen and put a dot at the beginning of each line that they should write on. This helps a great deal. Eventually they will get it and it will become second nature. Also, letting them know that as part of their final grade, they get credit for skipping lines on their rough draft.

Always write rough drafts with a pencil if not using a computer. At the top of their paper, the student should write each area that will be proof-read. This depends on what you are teaching at the time. After proof-reading has been finished,each student must initial the part that they corrected.

Proof-reading is a group effort. So I have the class get into their collaborative groups of 4. I will direct them and let them know exactly what to do. Each child will have a specific thing to look for, depending on the lesson. If you’re using sensory words, descriptive adjectives, topic and detail sentences, capitals and end punctuation, figurative language etc. they will proofread accordingly. It is really up to the individual teacher. All corrections should be written in pen or different colored pencils. Here are some examples:

One child will make sure that the paper makes sense. They will read it and add corrections on the blank lines.
Another child will look for colorful words such as adjectives, sensory words.
Someone else will circle spelling errors with red.
The fourth child will fix punctuation and grammar. They might underline grammar mistakes, or circle them with a blue pencil.

Each child in the group starts with someone else’s paper. I give them a certain amount of time to read and correct it, 10-15 minutes or so. After 15 minutes have passed, they give the paper to the next person in their group, and they do their specific job. This continues until all the corrections have been completed. They must remember to initial the part that they corrected see tip #2.

Once the proof-reading has been finished, I let the class know that they will be reading each other’s paper to them to hear how it sounds. It’s easier to pick up mistakes when you hear it out loud, rather than reading it to yourself. This can get noisy, so they should use inside voices.

When child A reads child B’s paper, child B has to listen, and vica versa. You do this for all papers in each group. If errors are picked up, they can be worked on, corrected and read aloud again.

As an extra incentive, tell your kids that if a paper that they corrected has no mistakes, they will get extra points towards the final grade on their own paper. This will get the class to take this exercise seriously.

John, Sarah, Sally and Andrew are in group A. John fixed spelling errors on the papers in his group. No one has spelling mistakes, so I would give him 4 extra points, 1 point for each paper that has been proof- read. Do this for everyone in the group. Use your own discretion.

When the final drafts are collected, they should include pre-writing, and rough drafts with comments and corrections. I let the them know that if they’ve followed directions and handed everything in as instructed, they will get credit for it.

I hope this post has been helpful for you. Would love to hear feedback.

Thanks for stopping by.

Following Directions | Getting Your Students to Follow Directions | Classroom Management

If your students are anything like my students, then they have a hard time following directions.

So I created this funny little test on following directions.

There are 30 tasks that they must do…but if they read correctly, then they really only have 2 tasks to do.

What happens in my classroom is that one or two students actually read and follow the directions correctly, while the rest of the students are doing funny things like yelling, “Old MacDonald had a farm” and standing up and turning around. The students who followed the directions are laughing hysterically at the other students.

It is so much fun! It also really enforces the importance of following directions.

Try it in your classroom and let me know how it goes!

5 Steps in Literacy Instruction

By Susan Berkowitz of Susan Berkowitz

Phonological awareness refers to awareness of and access to the sound structure of language. Spoken words are comprised of strings or sequences of phonemes that signal different meanings. Awareness that changes in these sequences result in changes in meaning is crucial in literacy skills development. If a student cannot conceptualize the order of sounds and syllables in words, he cannot associate the sound units with written symbols.

Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

6.NS.6c: Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane

Grades 3-6

When I taught fifth grade, I just loved the physical and chemical changes unit! It was so much fun and really engaged my students. So I have put it together for you!

This unit was so engaging because it is just packed full of hands-on experiments where students really dig into the properties of matter and determine what makes a physical change and what makes a chemical change.

For instance, we melt styrofoam cups:

We also created slime:

We explored the various properties of matter! We looked closely at the three states – solid, liquid, and gas!

We talked about a variety of scenerios where students had to determine if something was a physical or chemical change!

Included in this engaging resource are practice sheets and review sheets, answer keys, lesson plans, experimental labs, and much more! You’ll even find some interactive notebook pieces such as this:

6th – 8th Grade

This project asks students to create a dictionary with 25 geometric terms and 5 geometric formulas from a completed Geometry unit (unit NOT included). Students define the terms/formulas, rephrase each in their own words, and give a visual example of each.

Each year I used this project in my 7th grade Math class I was impressed with the level of detail my students produced. Some students didn’t complete the project, but most of them at least defined the terms for partial credit. This is a great way to help your students review important terms and formulas before a unit test, and it will excite your students who like to draw.

Document is ready to print and distribute to students.

Includes project rubric.

This is a winter solstice activity. It is a great introduction or reinforcement to why we have seasons, and a fun, short, science activity to do right before a winter break.

It includes a little bit of information about winter celebrations around the world, and then an exploration into the ‘reason for the seasons.’ It is appropriate for middle school or high school.

This lesson can be done as a whole group activity with a projector to show the map, or by printing out the map ahead of time, or individual or small groups on a computer.
