The Weekly Text from Mark’s Text Terminal for 24 April 2026 is this lesson plan on the Latin word roots corp/o, corpor, and corpus. They mean, simply, body. A number of shoots grow from these roots, including the high-frequency English words corporation, incorporate, and corpse. Corporal punishment, of course, is punishment of the body.
I use this context clues worksheet on the noun physique to open this lesson and perhaps point the way for students toward the meaning of these roots. And this scaffolded worksheet , replete with Romance language cognates, stands as the primary work for this lesson.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
