A fun and easy to work with worksheet on 20 Latin words and their English meaning. Similar in format to "Latin: The Language of Rome Fun Worksheet #1" but with totally different words and part of a larger set of five such worksheets.
Students work as "word sleuths" to try and identify the meaning of the 20 words (both nouns and verbs this time) for a set period of time and then correct and score it themselves orally with their teacher. Words were chosen for their similarity to English counterparts. English counterparts for Latin words are given in the answer key to build student understanding.
This printable addresses the following Common Core Standard: Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., audience, auditory, audible).

I have been primarily a middle school teacher for 27 years and have loved every minute of it. For me, "content is king." I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my and colleagues' classrooms (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children. And I can't be certain of that unless I have used it in my classroom. In the end, however, the best plans in the world won't make any impact unless delivered by a caring, committed, and enthusiastic teacher. Enthusiasm is the most under-rated aspect of a teacher's job. If your fire is out, they won't learn and will misbehave. If you are on fire, they will learn and they will behave for you. We do the most important job on Earth, and if we cannot put our hearts in it then we shouldn't stay in the classroom anymore. That's my two cents...
