Word Histories/Word Derivations

Word Histories, Word Derivations

Purpose:

Knowing the history of words can often help students understand other important aspects of the
history from which the word born.  Moreover, knowledge of meaningful affixes, particularly
from Latin and Greek, can help students determine the meanings of words they have not met
before.

Procedures:

1.  Introduce students to a word history or place name  story each day.  Place the word in a prominent place of the classroom and try to use the word often in speech and writing.

2.  Introduce students to a new word affix/morpheme.  Define the meaning.  Think of other
words that share the affix and attempt to determine their meanings.

3.  Create novel words using words from history or the present and/or using Latin or Greek
morpheme.  Challenge students to determine the meaning for the new words.  Challenge students
to create new words from words and morphemes the class has explored.
