  • With their partners, have students find the roots in the dictionary and write down their meanings as well as their language of origin.
  • Then, have the pairs brainstorm English words that use each of the roots. Encourage students to share their responses with the whole class.
  • Finally, instruct partners to create brand new words by combining the roots and affixes from their lists. Have the students share their favorite new words with the class. Can the rest of the class guess the meaning of the words? Did anyone accidently ''create'' a word that already exists?
