10th Grade Vocabulary Task Cards

✔️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.

Idioms can be tricky for English language learners or students with language learning difficulties to understand and they often need to be specifically introduced to them. This deck is a followup to sets 1–3 in my store and includes all 32 American English idioms from the first 3 decks. Although the format is basically the same and the same idioms are included, this is not just a compilation of the previous decks into one deck - all the sentences are different from the original decks. It can be used as a review of decks 1-3, or as a standalone activity.

Some cards ask student to identify the literal meaning of the idiom in a sentence. Other cards ask student to pick the idiom that best goes with the sentences. The cards are randomized, so a different selection of 20 out of the 64 cards will be presented in each round. (Please note that if you are assigning the activity via a "fast pin", all 64 cards will be presented to the students!)

The idioms included in this deck are: raining cats and dogs, cut corners, beat around the bush, bite the bullet, a dime a dozen, turn on a dime, wild horses couldn't drag me, get my goat, get your ducks in a row, hit the nail on the head, a piece of cake, think outside the box, all in the same boat, like a fish out of water, break a leg, all bark and no bite, bite off more than you can chew, on top of the world, throw in the towel, let the cat out of the bag, kill two birds with one stone, pie in the sky, all ears, under the weather, when pigs fly, couch potato, between a rock and a hard place, curiosity killed the cat, out of left field, walking on eggshells, over the moon, looking for a needle in a haystack.
