that isn’t sufficient, then point to a sentence and tell them the number of errors in that sentence. Finally, if they are still struggling, tell them
the type of errors in the sentence.

Word Roots BeginningGr. 3-4
Lesson 1 – Roots
Prex Meaning
peri- around, surrounding
Plants are not the only things that grow from roots…so do words!
For example, let’s start with the root, scope, meaning look at or examine.Other roots or word parts can be added to this root to grow new words.
Often, when a word ends with a root, an e or a y is added at the end, as in thewords telephone and euphony . This added letter doesn’t change the actualmeaning of the word. It is used to complete the word.
Some roots can stand on their own as a word. An example of this is the rootmeter, which means measure. By adding beginnings (prexes) or endings(sufxes) to roots, you form different words—with different meanings!
In the words below, we have used the prex peri- and the roots micro, scope, and tele to form words.
Activity A
Draw a line from each word to the picture which shows its meaning.
periscope
microscope
telescope
*For more information on combining forms, please refer to the Introduction.
Root Meaning
micro* small
scope look at, view, examine
tele* distance, from afar

1. Attached to a submarine under water,this sticks up to look for other boats:
2. This helps see things that are faraway, such as a bird high in a tree orthe moon:
3. Even the hairs on a y’s leg can beseen closely with this:
Activity CSome roots can go together to form new words.
ROOT + ROOT + SUFFIX = NEW WORD
Example
hydro* + phob + -ia = hydrophobia
(water) + (fear of) + (condition) = (fear of water)
When animals have hydrophobia, better known as rabies, theyhave a terrifying fear of water.

Civil War Turning Point: July 1863
A. Gettysburg 1General Joseph Hooker, the general AbrahamLincoln appointed to lead the Union’s military afterGeneral Burnside, did not last long following the
Union’s defeat at Fredericksburg in December1862. 2By the spring of 1863, Lincoln again hadto nd a new Union general to lead the Army ofthe Potomac after Hooker suffered a huge defeatat Chancellorsville, Virginia. 3Robert E. Leeand Stonewall Jackson humiliated (crushed) theNorth despite having half as many soldiers in thebattle. 4Unfortunately for the Confederate Statesof America, Jackson was accidentally shot andkilled by his own sentries as he returned from thevictorious eld of battle. 5General Lee then decided the South needed
to take advantage of its momentum. 6He marchedhis 75,000 troops out of Virginia and crossed intothe northern state of Pennsylvania in June of1863. 7If the South could capture Washington,D.C. or Philadelphia, perhaps they could negotiatefor independence for the Confederate States of
America. 8Heading into Pennsylvania along thewestern hills of the AppalachianMountains, Lee targeted asmall, but critical, transportation
junction called Gettysburg.9Lee’s rebel army needed
supplies. 10Gettysburg hada shoe factory and Lee wasdesperate to supply his menwith new boots.
11 As Lee invaded theNorth, Lincoln replaced Hooker with GeneralGeorge Meade. 12With 90,000 men, Meade metthe Confederate troops at Gettysburg and engagedin a critical three-day battle. 13Luckily for Meade,the Union was able to dig in on a high point of landcalled Cemetery Ridge which gave them an edgein battle. 14On the rst day of the ght, the Union
was able to defend attacks at the north end of theridge. 15On the second day, Lieutenant JoshuaChamberlain defended the south end of the ridgeon a hill called Little Round Top. 16On the third day,Lee sent 15,000 rebel troops under the commandof General George Pickett right at the center of theUnion defenses. 17Pickett’s Charge was a disasterfor the South. 18Union troops killed, wounded, orcaptured over half of the rebels who charged up toattack Cemetery Ridge.
Lesson 55
19On July 4th, a defeated Lee retreated southback into Virginia and never again tried to invadethe North. 20More than one-third (25,000) of hisarmy had been lost at Gettysburg. 21Seventeen of
his generals had been killed. 22Meade’s army, too,had taken a toll. 23In fact, between the two armies,over 51,000 men had been killed or wounded inthe ght. 24If Meade had pursued and defeatedLee on the 4th, the war may have ended that day,but Meade, only recently promoted, was cautiousand also reeling from the battle. 25 Almost onequarter of his army suffered casualties. 26Meadedid not chase Lee’s army and remained onCemetery Ridge.

Fun Fact Feature
Besides the thousands of Confederateand Union soldiers who died at the Battle ofGettysburg, there were an estimated 3,000 to5,000 of this kind of animal which died in thethree-day ght. Can you name the animal?
General Ulysses Grant surrounded the town forsix weeks, preventing supplies from reachingVicksburg. 31Southern soldiers and citizens therenearly starved and were forced to eat mules, shoeleather, and even rats. 32By July 4th, the rebels hadsuffered enough. 33The 30,000 surviving soldierssurrendered to Grant on the nation’s birthday.
34This victory at Vicksburg was critical tothe North. 35Vicksburg was the last remainingblock to Union control of the entire MississippiRiver. 36Union troops and supplies could now betransported along the entire length of the river fromMemphis to New Orleans. 37In addition, the Northhad driven a wedge through the Confederacy.38 Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas were now cut offfrom the eastern part of the Confederate Statesof America. 39Together, the Union victories atGettysburg and Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, areconsidered the turning points of the war in the
Union’s favor.
Everett, a former senator and president of Harvard,spoke for over two hours. 48Lincoln followed witha two-minute speech of only ten sentences nowknown as the Gettysburg Address.
49Lincoln understood the signicance of thefact that Gettysburg had been secured on July4. 50He started the address with a reminder that
87 years earlier the Declaration of Independencesaid that “all men are created equal.” 51Thebattle of Gettysburg, he said, was “a new birthof freedom.” 52The Civil War was really a ghtfor human equality. 53It was also, Lincoln said,a ght to see whether or not people could rulethemselves in a democracy.
54Lincoln’s speech was so short that manypeople in the audience did not realize he had evengiven it. 55There was little applause. 56Lincolnthought it a failure, but after the speech was printedin newspapers, people realized how great it was.
57Edward Everett himself told the president, “I wishthat I could atter myself that I had come as nearto the central idea of the occasion in two hours asyou did in two minutes.” 58Lincoln’s speech helpedinspire Union soldiers to continue to ght and to winthe war.
C. Gettysburg Address 40It took some time to bury the thousands ofsoldiers who had died at Gettysburg. 41The oldburial ground on Cemetery Ridge had to be greatlyexpanded. 42Many of the soldiers were
unidentiable.
43
Long rows of tombs marked“unknown” lined the new graveyard. 44Localtownspeople wanted the place to be dedicated asa national cemetery and, in the fall of 1863, invitedthe most popular speaker of the day, EdwardEverett, to give the main speech. 45 About twoweeks before the cemetery dedication, organizersalso decided to invite President Abraham Lincolnto the ceremony. 46They asked him to give “a fewappropriate remarks.” 47On November 19th, 1863,

the striped cat and the oldest cat ar
one year apart, so the striped cat is
ten years old. That means that the

Clue 1 states that the curly-haired
boy had more than fifteen points,
so he had 25. In Clue 2, if Lee had
made her last shot, she would have
scored twelve points, which means
that Lee is one of the two girls.
Since the clue says “if,” that means
she didn’t make her last shot and
only scored 10. Clue 3 states that
Tim scored fewer points than the
curly-haired boy and girl. Since Le
scored 10, Tim scored 12 points
and the curly-haired girl scored 15
So Lee is the straight-haired girl.

The number of unshaded unit squares equals the square of the stage number (e.g., 8 x 8= 64 for stage 8). The number of shaded unit squares starts at 8 and increases by 4 for
each new stage number (12 for stage 2, 16 for stage 3, 20 for stage 4, and so on). Thetotal number of unit squares equals the square of 2 more than the stage number (e.g.,10 x 10 = 100 for stage 8).
The number of unshaded unit squares is the square of the stage number: 12 x 12 = 144.
The number of shaded unit squares equals 36 at stage 8 and increases by 4 with eachstage number: 40 at stage 9, 44 at stage 10, 48 at stage 11.
