Vocabulary Menu

Much like a restaurant menu, a vocabulary menu allows you to choose one of the following activities to practice your English vocabulary (if you have a better suggestion, come see me!):

• Analogies:

Create analogies for the Greek/Latin roots and affixes. For each root or affix, you should have 2 analogies, using examples of the word. This can be done on notecards or paper.

• Sentence Notecards:

Create one sentence that shows an understanding of the meaning of the Greek/Latin roots and affixes. You should provide the meaning and 3 examples of the word, along with one sentence. This can be done on paper or on an index card.

Write lyrics to a song that use one example of each Greek/Latin root and affix. You will be using YOUR OWN example (not the one I gave you on the list) of the root or affix in the song. The lyrics should fit a well-known tune and should have context clues surrounding the word.

• Crossword Puzzle:

Create a crossword puzzle for the Greek/Latin roots and affixes. Each clue should contain the definition and 3 examples of the word. You may use or another site to assist you. Solve the puzzle in order to get credit.
