Activity 3 (Beyond Roots) instructs students to learn common Latin and Greek roots using the Set 1 cards and gives concrete examples (e.g., bi = two, cycl = circle). Students are directed to play matching and recall games (Memory, Root Recall, Go Root!) with the cards to practice root meanings. Students are then asked to take online Set 1 A and B quizzes, where the B quiz requires applying their knowledge of root meanings.

Students are directed to "Know the meanings of the roots in Beyond Roots Set 2" and to review the Set 2 roots. Students are asked to look through Beyond Roots Set 2 cards, play Root Recall/Go Root! games, and take online quizzes (A and B) until they score 80% or higher. The Skills section lists recognizing Greek and Latin roots (examples given) and using that knowledge to analyze the meaning of complex words.

The lesson explicitly states "Things to Know - The meanings of words formed from Latin and Greek roots." Activity 5 (Beyond Roots) directs students to look through Beyond Roots Set 3 cards, play games (Memory, Root Recall, Go Root!), learn the roots' meanings, and take online quizzes until they score 80% or higher. The Wrapping Up section tells students to "Review the meanings of the roots on the Set 3 Beyond Roots card."

Day 2, Activity 4 instructs students to combine all three sets of Beyond Roots cards to review roots and their meanings, to play the Go Root! game with mixed cards, and to take the Beyond Roots, All Sets quiz. The lesson provides a web link labeled 'Beyond Roots' and directs students to answer quiz questions based on roots from all three sets of cards. The student activity pages prompt recording and practicing root meanings.

The lesson requires students to include at least three Latin or Greek root words in the letter (Part 2) and at least three Greek or Latin root words in the journal entry (Part 5). The Parent Plan reiterates that students should use words with Latin or Greek roots learned during the unit. The rubric/checklist and writing tasks require students to produce written pieces that incorporate root-derived vocabulary.

The Parent Plan skills list includes spelling and working with roots, suffixes, and prefixes. The Vocabulary Web activity explicitly asks students to identify "any roots, prefixes or suffixes that form the word" for each target word and to record part of speech, syllables, definition, and a sentence. The activity requires students to use a dictionary or glossary to determine meanings and word forms.

Students analyze sets of words that share prefixes (pre-existing / preoccupy, co-owner / coexist, re-creation / recreation, re-cover / recover) and are asked to explain why the first word in each pair is hyphenated. Students are instructed to look up listed words (self-control, nineteen, all-time, hair-raising, eyewitness) in a dictionary and record correct spellings, which requires attending to prefix forms. Parent notes explicitly describe how a prefix ending with the same letter as the root often uses a hyphen and explain meaning/pronunciation differences for pairs like re-creation/recreation.

The lesson includes an explicit etymology note: "The word actually comes from the Latin word perfectus, which means 'completed.'" The perfect-tense explanation also names the Latin origin of the term "perfect," linking a vocabulary term to a Latin root. No other parts of the lesson present Greek or Latin affixes or roots as clues to meaning.
