  1. Hi six graders.
  2. Today you're going to work in Unit 25 which explores
  3. the Latin roots of Gen.
  4. Mort and Bio.
  5. You're learning targets for today are I can use my
  6. knowledge of Latin roots to read new words accurately.
  7. And I can use my knowledge of Latin roots to
  8. understand the meaning of new words.
  9. And you're really working on morphology, which transitions you from
  10. not just being able to read the word but really
  11. starting to understand that meaning so that second learning target
  12. is really important.
  13. As we move on to our learning today, Latin roots
  14. are word parts that have their own meaning.
  15. Most cannot stand by themselves, and they could be at
  16. the beginning, middle or end of the word.
  17. And you'll see that in your work this week that
  18. they could be in any spot of the word examples.
  19. Air Crone High, Bo Doc.
  20. This week's Latin roots are Jen, which means birth or
  21. family Mort, which means death and bio, which means life
  22. so you can see that these three routes jen more
  23. bio. All have to do with the life cycle, from
  24. life to death and to birth, and the family that
  25. happens in between those moments of birth and death.
  26. So let's look at a few words that use thes
  27. Latin roots.
  28. Here we have GEN in generation people are born and
  29. living during the same time period are in a generation
  30. so usually a generation covers around 30 years or so
  31. but it's just a cluster of time.
  32. So you and all your sixth grade friends will go
  33. through life in the same generation because you're the same
  34. group of people that were born during roughly the same
  35. period of time.
  36. The next Latin root that we're gonna focus on this
  37. week is Mort.
  38. Now more, it means death.
  39. So when we look at the word mortality, mortality is
  40. the state of one day having to die.
  41. So a plant has mortality because it will grow and
  42. thrive for a while but eventually will die.
  43. People are the same way were born and we live.
  44. And then one day everyone will die.
  45. Bio is our last Latin root bio means life, and
  46. this one is really common.
  47. You'll see it a lot in science content, but biology
  48. is the study of life because we have ology, which
  49. means this study and we a bio, which means life.
  50. So we put those two roots together and they don't
  51. stand on their own.
  52. But when we put them together, we suddenly understand that
  53. biology is the study of life, and we have meeting
  54. with that word.
  55. Let's practice a few.
  56. This word is progeny.
  57. When I look at progeny, I see crow at the
  58. beginning and Jeannie at the end, and we have the
  59. word, the route Jen, this part of Jeannie.
  60. So I know that pro means forward or fourth, and
  61. I know that Jan means birth, their family and this
  62. word gonna talk about it has offspring.
  63. So when someone gives birth to a child, it's their
  64. offspring. Or when an animal gives birth to say a
  65. dog gives birth to a puppy, it's the dog's offspring.
  66. So a progeny is the descendant or offspring of a
  67. person from their family.
  68. So progeny is this word.
  69. We used our knowledge of prefixes, suffixes and routes to
  70. help us find the meaning in the word progeny.
  71. And we're gonna do with this again in a word
  72. that you can practice with below.
  73. So your word is auto biography.
  74. Take a moment and look at autobiography.
  75. How maney roots Do you see an autobiography?
  76. There are three Routes.
  77. An autobiography we see Bio in the middle, which is
  78. one of our focal roots this week, and we also
  79. see auto in front of it and graph e after
  80. it. So when we think about what auto means, bio
  81. means and graphene means we can come up with a
  82. definition for this word.
  83. So we know that bio means life.
  84. Think for a minute.
  85. Have you ever seen auto or graph in any other
  86. context or words?
  87. I bet you have the meaning of this large word
  88. autobiography means a book written by oneself about their own
  89. wife. So although automatic Autumn A ties dhe, it's done
  90. by oneself and or its done automatically, bio means life
  91. in graph is too reference, writing or printing.
  92. So an autobiography is a book written by oneself about
  93. their own life.
  94. So Michelle Obama wrote an autobiography called Becoming Recently, and
  95. it is a book about her life before she met
  96. President Barack Obama during the time they were dating and
  97. life during the presidency when they lived in the White
  98. House. So she wrote an autobiography about herself.
  99. So as you go on with your learning this week,
  100. you're going to be looking at Gen.
  101. Mort and Bio a lot and their inter related with
  102. the circle of life.
  103. They have life and death and birth and family all
  104. in common.
  105. So as you go through your dick Odubel text this
  106. week, you're gonna be looking for those roots.
  107. And as you go through your activities where you're focused
  108. on meaning, be thinking about how you can look at
  109. a large word like autobiography.
  110. Break it into pieces by finding routes that you know.
  111. And if you don't know, you can always go toe
  112. Entomology dot com and look up the meaning of roots.
  113. So maybe an autobiography, you new bio and graph.
  114. But you weren't sure what auto met.
  115. You could go look up auto to give you another
  116. clue. So using technology is your friend When you're doing
  117. morphology is not a bad thing at all.
  118. It's a really good thing to learn to be resourceful
  119. and help you develop more meaning in these woods.
  120. So best of luck to you as you're learning this
  121. week on the Latin roots of Gen More, and I'll
