Two Ways to Use the Flash Cards 1.You can use the flash cards as a whole-class activity. –You show a word, students call out the meaning of the underlined root. 2.For older students who don’t like to call out answers, you can use the flash cards as a “quiz” to test their knowledge of the roots. –You show a word, students write down the meaning of the underlined root. Details for these two methods are on the following slides.

Method 1: Traditional flash cards Review the roots and their meanings with your students. You may want to write the roots and their meanings on the board, or make them visible to the students in some other way. In Slide Sorter view, mix up the order of the slides. Start the presentation on Slide 2. 1.Students call out the meaning that they think fits the underlined root. 2.Click the “flip” button to show the correct answer. 3.Move on to the next slide by clicking anywhere or pressing the right arrow key on the keyboard. 4. Repeat

Method 2: “Quiz” I find that this method works best with high school students. After they have had some time to learn the roots, use the images to “quiz” their knowledge 1.In Slide Sorter view, mix up the order of the slides. 2.Start the presentation. 3.Show a slide, and give students time to write their answer. 4.Press the right arrow on the keyboard to move on to the next slide. 5.Repeat 6.After 20 or so slides, stop the quiz. 7.Have students “trade and grade” 8.Go through the slides again, this time clicking the “flip” button to show the correct answer. 9.After reviewing the slides, have students turn in their scored quizzes.

Method 2: “Quiz” When using the “Quiz” method, I like to use automatic timings. Here’s how. 1.Tell students to number their papers from 1 - X 2.Set the slides to advance automatically after 10 or 15 seconds. 3.Begin the presentation. 4.That’s it. Go relax while students take the quiz.

Instructions for the Teacher Note: You can mix these slides with the photo flash cards to create a quiz or flash card session with more variety.
