{"Image DocumentName": "My Vocabulary-Collecting Winners!\u2014", "Image ImageDescription": "And our fifth winner is\u2026 8th grader Hannah was nominated by her peers and ended up winning a Vocabulary Warrior patch for this Related-Words List for the word convalesce, which she discovered in Hemingway\u2019s A Farewell to Arms. I no longer teach Greek/Latin roots through rote memorization; instead, I do hallway publishing projects\u2014like this one\u2014and I challenge students to investigate the Greek & Latin roots in self-discovered vocabulary words they find in books, and then look up. My 25-slide PowerPoint lesson on this vocabulary/writing option comes with a passage about King Arthur (by Sir James Knowles) for them to analyze. This ready-to-go lesson comes with my Vocabulary/Writing Package of resources available at my website.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
