As a simple definition for archy and cracy, you might say “the group of people that makes the laws for a country.” The element dom can be defined as “master or owner,” which might be easier to understand than “lord.” For Spanish-speaking students, the suffixes -archy and -cracy are similar in Spanish: -arquía and -cracia. The elements dom and reg are the same in both languages. Spanish cognates for the spelling words include: la jerarquía/hierarchy; la burocracia/bureaucracy; el dominio/ domain; el régimen/regime. Providing Support To explain the meaning of dominate, ask students if they have ever heard the expression “lord it over someone.” Explain that this means to behave as though you are better than someone else. Dominate literally means “lord or control.” Students may recognize regulation, which means “a rule.” Review Greek and Latin Elements for People Focus Words: civilian, cosmopolitan, publicize, desegregate, metropolis Say: In the previous unit, we learned about Greek and Latin elements related to people. Write dem, greg, pol/polis, pop/pub, and civ on the chalkboard. For each element, ask a student to think of a word containing that element. Write the words on the chalkboard, underlining the Greek or Latin element. Add the focus words to the chalkboard. Have volunteers define the words on the chalkboard, explaining how the meaning of the Greek or Latin element helps form the word’s meaning. Introduce Greek and Latin Elements for Ruling and Governing archy, cracy, dom, reg Model Write the elements archy, cracy, dom, and reg on the chalkboard. Say: In this unit, we’ll learn Greek and Latin elements related to ruling and governing. The elements archy and cracy mean “rule” or “government,” dom means “lord” or “owner,” and reg means “rule.” Write each meaning on the chalkboard. Write the following words on the chalkboard, read them aloud, and underline the Greek or Latin element in each word: monarchy, democracy, dominate, and regulation. Say: I can use what I know about the meanings of these elements to figure out the definitions of words. For example, I can see that monarchy has something to do with government. Other word parts help me understand this word’s meaning. I recognize that the prefix mon- comes from mono, meaning “one.” The word monarchy means “rule by one person,” such as a king or queen. Give students the meanings of the rest of the words on the chalkboard. Point out the element dem, which students already know, in democracy. Dem means “people,” so democracy means “rule by the people.” Guide Refer to the anchor poster and review the roots and their meanings with students. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC.

Have students use what they know about the meanings of the Greek and Latin elements and other word parts to figure out the definitions of the words. ISBN: 978-1-4509-0387-5 2 Word Study & Vocabulary 4: Unit 16: Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, reg Kit 4_Unit 16_TG.indd 2 ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC 6/7/10 8:46:32 PM Apply Blending Practice Write the words aristocracy and dominion on the chalkboard. Have students write the words in their word study notebooks and write an explanation of how the word parts combine to form the meaning of each word. Allow them to consult a dictionary if they need help determining the meaning of word parts. If some students have difficulty reading the words, help them read the words syllable by syllable. For example, point to the word regulation on the chalkboard. Show how you divide the word into four syllables. Tell students that the first syllable is divided after the consonant g, which tells you that the vowel sound is short. The second and third syllables are divided after the vowels u and a. These open syllables have long vowel sounds. The last syllable, tion, is pronounced /shun/. Read each syllable and then blend the syllables together: reg/u/la/tion: regulation. Continue to support students who need help with blending throughout the week, using the example words used in the lesson. Spelling Words with Greek and Latin Elements for Ruling and Governing Unit Spelling Words: anarchy, hierarchy, bureaucracy, technocracy, domain, predominate, regime, irregular Write the two category headings Always a Suffix and Roots That May Follow a Prefix on the chalkboard. Say: The Greek and Latin elements archy and cracy are added to roots. These elements are always suffixes. Write the elements archy and cracy on the chalkboard under the heading Always a Suffix. Say: The Greek and Latin elements dom and reg sometimes come at the beginning of words, but they can also be preceded by a prefix. Write the elements dom and reg on the chalkboard under the heading Roots That May Follow a Prefix. Tell students that knowing these patterns will help them spell the words. Write the words anarchy, bureaucracy, predominate, and irregular on the chalkboard. Underline the Greek or Latin element in each word to show students how archy and cracy are suffixes, while dom and reg have prefixes before them and other word parts after them. Rewrite each word on the chalkboard in syllabic form: an/ar/chy, bu/reau/cra/cy, pre/dom/i/nate, ir/reg/u/lar. Remind students that breaking words into syllables can help them spell longer words. Point out that the elements archy and cracy always form two syllables. Pronounce each of the words for students. Write the remaining spelling words on the chalkboard and say them aloud. Work with students to syllabicate the words. Ask students to speculate about the meanings of the words, using their knowledge of the Greek or Latin elements along with other roots and affixes. Supply the meanings of unfamiliar word parts such as an-, which means “without,” in the word anarchy. Assessment Tip Note which students have difficulty dividing the words into syllables. Say the spelling words aloud with them slowly. Have them write each syllable as they say it. Remind them that the spelling of these Greek and Latin elements is always the same. Home/School Connection Students can take home a list of the spelling words and practice reading, writing, and spelling the words with a family member. The derivation of hierarchy is complicated, and students are unlikely to determine its meaning from the meanings of its parts. The root hier means “holy” or “powerful.” In religion, there are different kinds of angels, some more powerful than others. Hierarchy was first used to describe this ranking of angels. Eventually the meaning changed to apply to the ranking of people by wealth, social standing, or occupation. Ask volunteers to use the spelling words in oral sentences. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC Kit 4_Unit 16_TG.indd 3 Word Study & Vocabulary 4: Unit 16: Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, reg 3 6/7/10 8:46:32 PM Day Two Providing Support If students have difficulty with the meaning sort, pair them with students who have a greater understanding of the Greek and Latin elements, or allow them to look at the anchor poster with the elements and their meanings as they sort. Meaning Sort government lord rule anarchy bureaucracy democracy hierarchy monarchy dominate domain dominance domino predominate irregular regime regulation register Review Greek and Latin Elements for Ruling and Governing archy, cracy, dom, reg Write each of the following words on the chalkboard: patriarchy, meritocracy, dominant, regimen. Read each word aloud and have students write them in their word study notebooks. Ask students to circle the Greek or Latin element related to ruling and government in each word. Have students use each word in a written sentence. Students can exchange their notebooks with a partner and check each other’s work. Meaning Sort Teacher Word Card: dominate Teacher Category Cards: government, lord, rule Say: In this sort you’ll look for the Greek or Latin element about ruling and governing in each word and sort the word according to the meaning of the element. Pattern Sort Two Syllables Three Syllables region dominant dominion regimen regiment regular Four Syllables Five Syllables autocracy domineering oligarchy matriarchy technocracy registration aristocracy predominately Home/School Connection Have students take home BLM 6 to complete with a family member. Students can also take home the word cards and share their sorts with a family member. Supporting ELs Because some ELs may not have someone at home who speaks English well enough to work with them on BLM 6, make sure that they understand what they are supposed to do on the BLM. Place the category cards in a pocket chart so students can see them. Model the process of sorting a word. Hold up the word card dominate. Think aloud: This word has the Greek or Latin element dom. Dom means “lord,” so I’ll sort this word in the category for that meaning. Place the word card in the pocket chart under the category lord. Give students the relevant category cards from BLM 2 and the word cards from BLM 3 and have them complete the sort. Pattern Sort Teacher Word Card: monarchy Teacher Category Cards: Two Syllables, Three Syllables, Four Syllables, Five Syllables Display the category cards in a pocket chart and model syllabicating and sorting a word. Hold up the word card monarchy. Think aloud: I’ll say this word aloud slowly so I can hear the syllables: mon/ar/chy. I hear three syllables, so I’ll place the word in that category. Place the word card in the pocket chart under the category Three Syllables. Give pairs of students the relevant category cards from BLM 2 and the word cards from BLM 4 and have them work together to sort the words. Spelling. Have students write the headings Two Syllables, Three Syllables, Four Syllables, and Five Syllables in a row in their word study notebooks. Have them syllabicate the spelling words and write them in the correct column in the chart in their notebooks. 4 Word Study & Vocabulary 4: Unit 16: Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, reg Kit 4_Unit 16_TG.indd 4 ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC 6/7/10 8:46:33 PM Day Three Speed Sort Speed Sort Teacher Word Card: predominately Teacher Category Cards: archy, cracy, dom, reg Explain to students that this sort will test how quickly they can recognize Greek and Latin elements in words. Put the category cards in a pocket chart so that students can see them. Hold up the word card predominately. Think aloud: I scan this word for archy, cracy, dom, or reg. I see the Greek or Latin element dom in this word, so I’ll place it in the dom category. Then I’ll quickly move on the next word. Give students the category cards from BLM 2 and the word cards from BLM 5, along with a stopwatch. Tell them to start the stopwatch, sort the words, and stop the stopwatch. Have students ask a buddy to check their sort and make sure all the words are categorized correctly. They should note their time and the number of words incorrectly sorted (if any). Students can repeat the sort to try to improve their time and accuracy. Applying Meaning. Give students BLM 7 and have them complete the cloze sentences and matching activities. archy cracy patriarchy kleptocracy meritocracy plutocracy theocracy dom reg dominance domination domineer domineeringly regimented regional regularly regulate Assessment Tip Use students’ completed BLM 7 to assess their understanding of the meaning and spelling of the words. Note if they need more practice defining and spelling difficult multi-syllabic words. Providing Support ELs and struggling readers may have difficulty completing BLM 7 on their own. Have them work with a partner to read and complete it. Home/School Connection Give students BLM 8 to complete with a family member. Explain that they are to do the same thing they did on BLM 7 in class. Supporting ELs Make sure that ELs understand what to do on BLM 8 since there may not be anyone at home who speaks English well enough to help them complete it. ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC Kit 4_Unit 16_TG.indd 5 Word Study & Vocabulary 4: Unit 16: Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, reg 5 6/7/10 8:46:33 PM Day Four Providing Support Instead of having students read the passage independently, place students in small groups of mixed reading abilities and have them choral-read the passage straight through. Then have them work as a team to find examples of words with the Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, and reg. Name ___________________________________ Date ____________________________________ Pirates: Leaders in Freedom and Equality? When most people think of pirates, they think of lawless renegades who lived a life of anarchy and utter freedom. It is true that pirates in the 17th and make sure underlines ked to overprint w: Attributes) 18th centuries did not submit to the regimes of the day. But even though pirates were ruled by neither monarchy nor official governments, they were not without laws. Pirates followed their own rules and regulations—rules that were made aboard each pirate ship. Some important values to pirates were liberty, equality, and fraternity—the same values that became the foundation of the French Revolution more than a hundred years later. That’s right—pirates did it first! Aboard many ships, pirates had as much say in a decision as the captain of a ship, who usually did not dominate his crew as a dictator. Captains were elected, and they could be removed from leadership at any time. Pirates voted on what their crew should do, and each pirate was given an equal share of the looted wealth to do with as he or she pleased. It is possible that one group of pirates may have even established their own democracy of sorts—a pirate utopia called Libertalia. A pirate captain named Misson was elected to lead this domain on the island of Madagascar. Pirates there also elected representatives to speak for them in a yearly meeting to make decisions for the community. We can’t be sure if Libertalia really existed, but if it did, it died out around 1700 as piracy began to wane. Word Hunt Give students a copy of the passage on BLM 9. Tell them that they will read the passage and underline the words that they find that have the Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, and reg. After students have completed the word hunt, ask volunteers to share the words that they found. Write the words on the chalkboard so that students can see any words they missed.

After the second student has spelled the words, the first student places a check mark next to words spelled correctly. For the second try, the first student may prompt the second student by sounding out the words that were spelled incorrectly the first time. If the second spelling attempt is correct, the first student places a check mark in the Second Try column. Then students switch roles. 6 Word Study & Vocabulary 4: Unit 16: Greek and Latin elements archy, cracy, dom, reg Kit 4_Unit 16_TG.indd 6 ©2010 Benchmark Education Company, LLC 6/7/10 8:46:34 PM Day Five Name ___________________________________ Spelling Assessment Use the following procedure to assess students’ spelling of the unit spelling words: •Say a spelling word and use it in a sentence.
