Description
Almost 70% of the English language is derived from Latin and Greek languages. When students learn these “building blocks” it becomes easy for them to recognize and decode unfamiliar words that are related to a known root. It is also increasingly important to explicitly teach students the meanings of Greek and Latin roots as they encounter the very technical vocabulary found in science and other content areas. This is the digital version of the paper-based Get to the Root of It: Book 1.
What’s Included:
This digital version of the paper-based Get to the Root of It [Book 1] contains 20 units, each containing 10 words for 3 to 4 related roots.
Each unit contains 8 Google Form quizzes:
1. Exercise A: Sentence Completion
2. Exercise B: Yes or No?
3. Exercise C: Choose Two
4. Exercise D: Analogies
5. Exercise E: Time to Explore
6. Exercise F: Apply What You Know
7. Word & Definition Match
8. Unit Assessment
Bonus Material:
•Google Slide Cinquain Poem template
•Google Slide Root Word Graphic Organizer
•Google Slide Frayer Vocabulary Model

Error! I can't open this document anymore.
I purchased this vocabulary last year, and now I am unable to open it. It says that it has special permissions. Please fix it.
I loved having this for STAAR review. They were able to it by themselves
My daughter did not enjoy this at all. We normally always start out in the morning with some worksheets. In this case there were many things that were thrown at her that had little to no explanation and some were completely new to her. I ended up deleting the file since we never use it now. I really thought this would be a good course for us.
<p>Hello, Abigail. Did you see the detailed teaching notes and grammar student handbook included in the resource? Hopefully those tools help explain the concepts.</p>
My students liked this resource as a reinforcement of skills.
I was excited about this resource. But NOTHING about it has been easy. I don't believe the positive reviews, unless they are not using them daily, or they did not mind adjusting the settings on 144 forms because the settings are ridiculous.
1) "We don't use any student identifiers..." That is the DUMBEST thing I have heard of. Did I miss something and teachers have stopped asking their students to write their names on their papers because we don't need to identify whose work is whose anymore?? As of now, when 20 kids finish a form, you have NO idea who's response is whose. No joke. What the actual heck? So plan on opening 144 forms and setting EVERY ONE to collect email addresses (or whatever you prefer, but that's the easiest for my students).
2) To create the forms, you have to click on an individual link, click make a copy, and then you have the word "copy of" in front of every form. There are lots of better ways the seller could have gone about this with a little research.
3) When I make a form, I try to get the total to be out of 100 points, so that every score is consistent and means something to my students (<70, needs to ask for help from me, 100=all correct, etc.). Every purchased form I've bought has been out of 100 points. These forms are all out of different numbers-8, 16, 22, etc. There is no consistency throughout the week, no way for students to compare scores, and their scores don't means ANYTHING to them or me if I don't have a calculator handy. Just DO BETTER.
4) The other settings are GARBAGE too. Students cannot see the questions that they missed. What kind of teacher doesn't want students to see what they got wrong? I normally DON'T want my students to see correct answers, because I want them to be able to go back and try to find their errors and correct them themselves, BUT on a DAILY SPIRAL, when time is short and they may/may not have been introduced to the topic, I find that student learn a LOT form seeing the correct answer. This setting was also unchecked.
5) There is no logical order to the review questions. There are not models to help compare fractions mid year, just 2 fractions and students are asked to compare. Maybe some schools in Texas teach things in different orders, but we don't teach fractions that early, but they sure as heck could be reviewing place value or multi-step addition/subtraction problems.
If I were selling a product and knew there were 144 individual forms, I would have done the work myself, and given options: This link will give you forms with these settings; This link= these settings...etc. To say that teachers can "easily" change the settings is ridiculous. It is TEDIOUS, easy to miss an important setting like collect EMAILS, and THAT'S WHY I PAID YOU. I should have realized there were teachers out there that don't think about the "little things" and read the fine print or comments before buying.
I WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN for the hassle of making these work.

I purchased the digital version (not the print), so I already have the exercises in the Google Forms format. I was checking to see if the print version was included with the digital purchase. Thanks for responding!
Thanks for reaching out. These are separate resources as the digital versions take 100s of hours to create. Many digital resources out there are simply an image of a worksheet/printable embedded into a Google Slide with blank text boxes pasted on top of them. Creating digital resources in this manner is a simple process that only takes a few hours, and you are more than welcome to adapt the printable version as described for your personal use. Our digital versions are all created in Google Forms, so teachers can save time using the self-grading feature, which is not available in Google Slides. As mentioned above, creating Google Forms is very labor and time-intensive, so we decided to list these separately. You are more than welcome to use the printable versions you own to create your own Google Forms to use with your students only.
The printable version is available here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Greek-and-Latin-Roots-Morphology-Vocabulary-Worksheets-Assessments-Book-1-882185
Hi. I was able to access the Google Forms but I don't see where to access the Bonus Google Slides content. My download included just a spreadsheet with links to the 160 Google Forms (8 for each of the 20 units) and the 19-page PDF Preview.
Hello! The links for the bonus materials are also in the spreadsheet. Please look to the lower tabs on the screen where you will see the "Bonus Materials" sheet.
I purchased the digital version of this. Is there a print version available with the purchase? Thanks!

I am unable to open the file. It says it is a zip file, but I am unable to extract it. It says unable to open the file type. Advice?
Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Hi there! My school uses Teams instead of Google Classroom. Would it be possible to copy the text from the Google Forms into a Teams Form? Or should I purchase the paper copy and create the Teams Form manually? So bummed my school doesn't use Google Classroom! Thanks for your help!
Hello! I am sorry about that! I would suggest copy and pasting from the printable version to create your own forms in Teams. I think it would be easier to do, and then you will have both versions.
Love this resource! My student and I wanted to point out that the resource [3D] question numbers are very out of order :) Thank you!
Hello! I just checked the Google Form, but I do not see anything out of order. Could you send me a screenshot? info@teacherthrive.com

These activities are assigned in Google Classroom. I used to be able to collect their scores automatically into my Google Classroom gradebook. This year I am having to have students show me their scores and manually input into the Goggle Classroom Gradebook. Can you help with this?
Good morning. I just purchased this digital resource and I'm having difficulty downloading the material. Is there a way to send me a link? Usually my purchases have a link embedded for easy downloading.
Thanks for your help.
