Mark's Text Terminal

This week’s Text is this lesson plan on the Greek word root chron/o. It means, of course, time. This is a very productive root in English, and its offshoots include such high-frequency English words as chronicle, chronology, synchronize, chronic, and, for those of us involved in online learning, asynchronous. I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun interval in the hope that it will point the way to the meaning of this Greek root; in any case, interval is a word I think students ought to know before graduating high school.

Finally, here is the scaffolded worksheet that is the principal work of this lesson.
