Sorting Root Families

Students categorize words by their Greek roots-astro, amph, graph, and bio. They identify which words belong to each family and write the root’s meaning at the top of each list. This activity reinforces etymological connections between words like astronaut, amphibian, and biography. It strengthens critical thinking and vocabulary recognition through classification and analysis.
