Choose three roots or prefixes from the set 3 words and do one of the following for each:
Identify a superhero or villain whose power is inspired by the root/prefix (describe their power)
OR
Create and define a new word (not one that is new to you, but one that did not exist before until you created it).
After everyone responded to these questions, we shared students answers and then had the set 2 quiz over these roots/prefixes.
I then threw a paper airplane into the middle of the class with the following directions printed on it. Students began the activity when they realized the paper airplane was significant and read the following:
You have the remaining time in class to complete the directions given here.
If you complete all of the directions on this sheet, everyone gets a passing grade.
If you do not complete the assignment, everyone gets a grade reflective of the groups’ success.
- Read Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If...”
- As a class identify what the theme/message of the poem is (what is it all about)
- Individually respond to the following prompt and submit responses to Mr. Collins electronically:
1 - In what ways does the message of this poem (what you talked about as a class) apply to you as a person (response should be 1 paragraph)
2 - Write for more lines to this poem starting with “If you can...”
Share these with others in the class when you’re done.
You will be done when everyone has shared the four lines they wrote.

At the end of class, I handed out a debrief form to students to fill out for homework. We will discuss this activity next Monday.
