One of my favorite things to do with my students is give them compound
words that share roots and make them figure out the roots of the first several
and then have them tell me what the others mean.
Theses are some of the words I know I have used on them.
telephone
telegraph
telemetry
teleport
phonograph
chronometer
anachronism

Carol,
I know what you mean. I learned a LOT about
English in my German class. :)
Ooopss... I'll get that edited today.
However, in my
opinion, all teachers, no matter their subject, teach English somewhat... as a
Science teacher, I'd correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar on lab reports
all the time. Drove me nuts....
But to actually teach English?
Not me... that takes a special breed of patience that the universe
didn't give me.
Thanks again though Ryan - it is a great lesson
plan.

Wow,
thanks for the wonderful write-up Carol!
One thing though. I don't
teach English just Spanish.
