1 Ask students to follow along as
you read the Learning Targets aloud using the “Microphone” game. When finished, explain to students that in this lesson, they will learn vocabulary about an editorial which will help them understand the entire unit.
2 DistributeacopyoftheRootsand Affixes graphic organizer to each student. Ask a student volunteer to read the Word Connections. Point out the Latin suffix ment. Say: The Latin root ment means “act” or “process.” It is the suffix for many different words. Suffixes are word parts that are added at the end of roots and are used to make other words. Have students write the suffix ment in the center of their graphic organizer. Then, have them work in pairs, groups, or individually to come up with as many words as they can that use the suffix (judgment, settlement, government). Provide dictionaries for student use. Point out that most of the time with

Clarify each term using thumbs- up, thumbs-down and neutral hand motions as each criterion is read to help make meaning. Check for student understanding of the criteria, and have
