Academic Vocabulary Words for Responding to Literature and Vocabulary Skill: Root Words

These words can be used when discussing or writing about your response to literature that you have read. They are also useful words for explaining the reasoning behind your predictions. Read the academic vocabulary words, definitions, and example sentences on page 29. How is each word used? What are some other ways we might use these words?

Vocabulary Skill – Root Words Many words in English are derived from other Latin and other languages. Knowing Latin (and other) root words can provide a shortcut to building a sizable vocabulary. Recognizing Latin roots helps you determine the meanings of unfamiliar words when reading.

Root Words in Unit 1, Part 1 o the root –loqu- (p. 54) o the root –nov- (p. 80) o the root –spont(e)- (p. 80) You can find word origin information (etymology) in the dictionary. Because a root is the basic part of a word, it represents the basis of the word’s meaning. While a root does not give a precise definition, it offers the general idea of a word’s meaning.

Activity Read each of the definitions of the five root words listed below. With a partner, discuss how knowing the meaning of the root word helps you to understand the meaning of each of the five academic vocabulary words on p. 29. Be prepared to share your discussion with the whole class. o -loqu– (speak) o -per- (thoroughly) and –capere- (to gather up; to take) o -spont(e)- (of one’s own accord; by one’s own force) o - subjectus- (existing in the mind; one under authority) o - nov- (new)

Homework Connecting to the Literature p. 31 The monkey’s paw in this story is a mysterious object that can grant wishes and change events. However, the characters are warned that there will be “consequences.” Write three reasons why you would or would not make a wish in this situation. Use at least three of the following words in your sentences: alter, complicate, evaluate, intervene.
