Mortar= Tier 2 - General but sophisticated words used to communicate complex thoughts (process and conceptual words & phrases, common in complex texts and test language)

Students generate “known” words to link to “new” words.

Let’s do this!
![Page 11: Morphology: Start Your Engines! (NCRA 2014)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565ab6fd8b42a4c6f8b48f1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
genotype
Definition: the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to traits.
Although we cannot visibly see all of our traits physically (phenotype), they can be found within our DNA (genotype).
(gen) o (typ)e

So, how did we get
here?

Generative Vocabulary Routine
1. Introduce/define a morphologically complex content word.
2. Prompt students to break down words into morphemes.
3. Introduce the target morpheme, and explain how it relates to the meaning of the content word.
4. Have groups of three or four students generate all the words they know that include the morpheme.

Generative Vocabulary Routine
5. Circulate to prompt groups who need help.6. Use a whole-class format to discuss words and
create the class morpheme web.7. While discussing words, emphasize the
spelling-meaning connection. Identify “false” roots by “taking the route back to the root.”
8. Extend students’ word knowledge by introducing new words and their meanings to the web.

Dinner Party
Find the “guests” who have place cards similar to yours. Sit down at a table for your “dinner party.” Discuss what you have in common.

Brainburst
1. Select a root. Set a timer for two minutes. Each team generates as many words as possible derived from that root.
2. When timer goes off, each group draws a line under their last word and counts the total number of words.
3. The group with the longest list reads the list aloud. If any other group has the word, it is crossed off from all lists. Any words that are not on another list are crossed off.

Brainburst
4. Each group in turn reads any words that have not been called to determine if they have a unique word. Disputes can be settled with the help of a dictionary.
5. The team with the most unique words are the winners of the round.
