L7.4b: Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., belligerent, bellicose, rebel). I can use prefixes and suffixes to figure out what a word means.
Lesson 2: Standards

How will we see if we understand it?

Workbook Pages: Prep for your Quest 2A: Frayer Model: Hierarchy
When learning a new word, it helps to review affixes and roots. Latin affix: hier Greek root: archy - leader of sacred rights - first in rank or time hier + archy = hierarchy Write the definition of hierarchy in the definition square of the Frayer Model. Look back at your vocabulary section entry.
Morphemes
List as many words that share morphemes (hier- or -archy) as you can.
Think back to the pyramids I showed you earlier. Why are the most powerful people in the smallest section at the top?
- Only a few important people are at the top
- Only one ruler or a small number of people making the rules
- Peasants and Serfs make up the most people, so they are at the bottom
- Those at the bottom follow the rules of those above
- All are true
Characteristics Additional characteristics reflecting the first definition of hierarchy we discussed in class 2. Examples 2+ examples that represent the first definition of hierarchy discussed in class 3. Non-Examples 2+ types of government whose labels end in -archy Brief definitions for the two examples Meaning of their prefixes
