Hour of Code + Scratch + CCSS: Middle School English, Vocabulary & Greek/Latin Roots

Fourth in a series of lesson plans introducing Scratch programming and aligning to the Common Core State Standards. I'm hoping to produce content-aligned material so that more teachers feel able to participate in Hour of Code. This one reviews roots and word families by having students create simple interactive games that quiz the player on a family of words from one root.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.6.4b, 7.4b, 8.4b: Use common, grade-appropriate Greek & Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of an unfamiliar word.
