Here is a worksheet on the Latin roots mal and male. They mean, as any Spanish speaker can tell you, bad, evil, ill, and wrong. These are very productive roots in English, yielding, among many, others, malevolent and malpractice.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek roots cracy and crat. Unsurprisingly, they mean government, rule, and power–you know, like democracy, physiocrat, and kakistocracy.

Finally, on this very productive Wednesday morning, here is a worksheet on the Greek word root cosmo. It means, as you probably assumed, both universe and world. It’s at the root of many English words, especially those related to astrophysics and astronomy; but you also find it under such words in the social sciences like cosmopolitan.

For a variety of reasons, I have always found the kinds of classroom decorations available for purchase in “teachers’ stores” (what the heck is a teachers store, anyway?) to be insincerely cheerful and annoyingly inauthentic. For that reason, I developed a short unit on making classroom posters. One component of this exercise is this raw text for making classroom posters on English Language Arts topics.
Observing students as they work on creating posters helps me assess a wide range of student abilities, including organizing and executing a task as well as persisting to finish that task, following directions, reading, writing, and spelling, and understanding the basic concepts the text outlines.

This worksheet on the Latin roots deca, dec, deka, and deci can assist students in a number of ways I think. These mean, as you probably already recognized, ten; be aware though, that deci actually means tenth. In any case, this is a vocabulary builder, but contains words primarily from mathematics, so it’s probably best used there to assist students in developing their own understanding and using words growing from these roots.

On a rainy morning, here is a worksheet on the Greek word root log/o. It means word, discourse, and doctrine. Logos was a big concept in the ancient Greek world. You can hear it, of course, at the basis of the English word logic.

Here is a worksheet on the Latin word root circum. It means, unsurprisingly, around. This root is at the base of at least two key words–circumference and circumstance–from the high school lexicon. Moreover, because it derives from the Latin, it forms the basis of a number of cognates in the Romance languages, particularly Spanish.

To begin the week (which ends in the first Friday of Black History Month 2019), here is a worksheet on the Greek word root idio. It means peculiar, personal, and distinct. Think of the word idiosyncratic, a word loaded with other Greek roots (i.e. syn and crat).

The first Text for the New Year is this complete lesson plan on the latin word root bell-. It means war. Here is the context clues worksheet on the noun conflict with which I begin this lesson. Finally, this vocabulary-building worksheet on this root is the mainstay of this lesson.

You might find that this worksheet on the Greek word root hydr/o–it means, unsurprisingly, water, but also hydrogen and liquid–helps students quickly build a lexicon of key vocabulary words to use across the common branch domains, and especially the physical sciences.
