Procedures Context: Word study takes place at least 2 days a week throughout the school year. Students explore 200 Greek & Latin stems (roots/affixes) with 4 example words per stem that are derived from the academic vocabulary (Tier 1 and 2 words CCSS) Students in my district have learned a sequence of Greek & Latin stems starting in 3rd grade, so I would not need to provide an initial discovery activity to motivate the learning of word origins (morphemes). Students would have already had a week's exposure to beginning Alice tutorials. ACTIVATOR (10 minutes) Connect to prior learning

1. In cooperative learning groups of four, ask 1s & 3s (diagonal assignments), ask students to listen for different kinds of languages that are part of modern English words.

2. In cooperative learning groups of four, ask 2s & 3s (diagonal assignments), to listen for word patterns or word parts that help unlock the meaning of unfamiliar words.

YOU DO (60 minutes, spread out over several days) INDEPENDENT PRACTICE 1. Students create their own Alice world based on their assigned G & L word stem. Ask all students to complete a storyboard, raise their hands for a teacher check & initial, before they access their devices.

2. Teacher plays student's MP4 files for WC, and students use files as yearlong study aid. 3. Use rubric for formative assessment and score. Students should use the online teacher feedback in their next creation of an

Alice World to demonstrate understanding of another word web.
