Loved Eury's idea about using Latin roots (especially discussion of Ceasar) as a method for showing impact of Roman Empire. #AdolLit

@jennamcjenna Yeah I filter it out and check when I have a free second. Hard 2 follow sometimes. Topics get jumbled up as people respond.

I always found doing word sorts to be a powerful tool for Word Study. Can b by parts in LA and concepts in content classrooms. #AdolLit

#AdolLit Word Study involves more than simply Latin. Students just need time to play with parts of words. Too bad time is hard 2 come by.

reading week 2 discussions and case studies it seems majority of #AdolLit students believe in explicit vocab instruction. Visual close 2nd.
