Ahoy, Matey! Just like you, the Pirate Queen has been on lock- down for a while and still attempting to adjust to the "New Normal"! Of course pirates are resourceful and resilient so I'm confident that I'll be able to weather this COVID-19 storm.As you may know, Teachers Pay Teachers has made it possible for sellers to add an interactive layer to their already published PDF resources to create digital activities that students can use on their electronic devices. For schools that are starting online, these digital resources will save teachers valuable time. So today I would like to share with you some of my vocabulary products which have been revised with digital activities.
- matching games
- drawing activities
- practice worksheets available as digital documents
- assessment available as digital documents
For each root, students focus on four words sharing that particular root. These words are introduced in a brief narrative, and students are required to use context clues to determine their meanings. Once meanings are verified, students engage with these words by writing definitions, drawing pictures, completing sentence stems, and listing related words and phrases.
More practice is provided with games. There are two matching games. One matches words to definitions. The other matches words to sentences. In addition, there is a board game in which players attempt to be the first to reach the Root Word Forest by correctly selecting one of four words to complete a sentence in order to move along the path that leads to the forest. Although the games are not digital, the game cards for the board game are available as a multiple choice digital activity.
Additional word lists are provided along with “Word Parts Activity”, a strategy for identifying word parts such as prefixes, roots, and suffixes. This activity is also available as a digital document.
