✔️Need to teach Greek & Latin along with Context Clues?

✔️Looking for way to get your students thinking critically & making connections?

✔️Need to integrate vocabulary in a meaningful way?

This activity includes worksheets, task cards and Google Quizzes for vocab practice

Students will use key words from the definitions in the first activity to determine the meaning of the Greek or Latin prefix. By recognizing the prefixes in words they recognize (and some they won't) students will begin making connections to other words they hear and read. This is a natural way to build in vocabulary to daily instruction that includes context clues and the Greek and Latin.

Included:

• Greek & Latin Roots Exploration: Dive into 45 carefully selected words, each featuring 9 impactful prefixes from the rich realms of Latin and Greek languages.
• Word Definitions: Equip your students with a solid understanding of each word, laying the foundation for deeper language comprehension.
• Fill in the Blank Sentences: Immerse your class in the learning process with cloze sentences that challenge them to apply their newfound knowledge in context.
• Task Cards: Make learning interactive and enjoyable with task cards that encourage independent exploration and reinforce language skills.
• Google Quizzes: Easily accessible quizzes that provide instant feedback, saving you valuable time and promoting a tech-savvy learning environment.

Whether you are starting school in the classroom or teaching virtually, start your year off strong with the Back to School Grammar Digital Escape Room for use with Google Drive!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! Now, you can facilitate our Back to School Grammar Escape Room at home for distance learning or in the classroom using your school's technology (thereby cutting down on paper and valuable prep time) with this meticulously-crafted resource. Each task is skills-based so that with this fun activity, learning is not sacrificed. Distance learning can certainly be a struggle for both students and teachers, so this escape room aims to provide a welcome break from the monotony while encouraging higher order thinking skills and a fun review of English grammar.

How does it work?

"Let's eat Grandpa!" Your students' challenge is to find the missing comma from this sentence to save Grandpa from becoming dinner. In order to do this, they must complete 5 grammar-based tasks, discover a hidden message, and find clues along the way.

• Comma Drama: In the first task, students must identify comma rules used in 6 quotes about grammar. When matched correctly on a mat puzzle, shaded boxes reveal the first code.
• Idiomadness: In the second task, students must complete a crossword puzzle for which each clue is an education idiom. Shaded boxes within the puzzle reveal the code.
• Devil Cat: In the third task, students must closely read a passage about the Devil Cat that allegedly roams the basement of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and find the incorrect homophones within the article. Shaded letters within the answers form the third code.
• R U Kidding Me?: In the fourth task, students read 8 funny (well, in a Dad joke kind of way) jokes about grammar. Students must determine the part of speech of the underlined word in each joke. Shaded boxes within the answers reveal the code.
• Jig Saw Quote: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a quote about grammar. Once the puzzle is assembled students earn the missing comma to save Grandpa!

Product Includes:

- Instructions for how to access and share escape room and answer key through Google Drive

- Materials for 5 Tasks: digital task signs, detailed task instructions, and digital worksheets

- Digital Student Answer Booklet

- Digital Teacher Answer Key

This product requires free accounts through Google Drive and is completely paperless.

Have your students explore the Protest Movements of the 1960’s by becoming an author of a textbook; whose job is to research, write, and creatively craft a chapter that will both inform and engage its readers regarding a protest movement of this era of time. Using Google Slides, students will be assigned one of the six following protest movements from which to research and create their chapter on:

• The United Farm Workers (UFW)
• The Anti-Vietnam War movement
• The Women’s movement
• The Gay Rights movement
• The Environmental movement
• The American Indian movement (AIM)

Using an inquiry based approach, the accompanied Slide Presentation will first have students explore the cause and effect relationship of how these protest movements came to exist in America during this period of time. The latter portion of the presentation will provide students with an overview of the chapter project with student examples. The final activity will involve students sharing their chapter with their classmates, and completing a Venn Diagram that will serve to critically compare the six different protest movements.

This lesson/project easily lends itself to having a sub take over as well!
