Suggestions for Use
These flashcard templates work well as a way for your
students to take notes on the Language Roots PowerPoint.
They are designed to be copied as a 1-page document (note
that the order of the words on page 1 and page 2 are inverted for
this purpose). If you copy page 1 and page 2 as a 2-sided, 1page document, students can take notes on page 2 and then
cut the notes into flashcards for studying.
The root word list that includes all the definitions and
examples is useful if you have special needs children in your
class who cannot take notes from the PowerPoint or who
need more time to do so. It’s also useful if students are
absent when you give the presentation. It’s a handy
summary of the lecture.
