The following lists target words students should see and say for this minilesson.
N
Consider saying something like the following to your class.
All these words are about time, and specifically, they are about periods of time. Annual means one year has passed. An anniversary is a date marked each year, like a wedding anniversary or an anniversary of moving to a new place or meeting one of your friends. Millennium and millennial have been used frequently since we passed the year of 1999. The year 2000 and beyond is what we call a new millennium—a new period of one thousand years has begun. The year 3000 will mark the next millennium. You may have also heard the word millennial to describe people who reached adulthood in the year 2000 or since. They are people who came of age during this new millennium.
A
Form small groups of students. Ask them to discuss the following questions.
P
Have each student write a sentence using two of the target words (or related forms of those words). Have a few share aloud if time allows.
Scaffolding
Provide sentence templates like the following for students to choose from.
Acceleration
Related words bicentennial and centennial may be of interest or may be familiar to some students. Discuss these words as appropriate, or ask advanced students to find out more about them during step A and to share what they find in step P.
Root: aud
The following two minilessons focus on the root aud, which comes from the Latin word audire. Audire means “to hear.”
Students may be somewhat familiar with the word audio because of their experience with electronic devices and the word auditorium because it is a place they have visited for school functions. However, the less common word auditory is taught along with these two words in this difficulty level 1 minilesson.
Lesson R3: audio, auditorium, auditory
In this minilesson, teachers will teach the root aud, such as in the words audio, auditorium, and auditory.
Difficulty level: 1
S
The following lists target words students should see and say for this minilesson.
Ask students if they have seen or heard the word audio when using electronic devices or computers. Discuss a recent trip to the school auditorium or use the word in a familiar context. You may also connect the word audience to auditorium if you feel that this will help students. For auditory, you can point out how it is very similar to auditorium (in this step or the next step). You could say, “In addition to sight, we use our hearing when we go to the auditorium to watch a performance. In other words, we use our auditory system. That’s our sense of hearing.”

Consider saying something like the following to your class.
So, you can see that all three words share a root or word part, aud. Many English words use this root, and it always relates to sound and hearing. Remember that audio and auditorium are nouns. And remember our definition of noun—it’s a person, place, thing, idea, or feeling. Audio is a thing—it’s usually sound that is recorded or played, like the audio that comes out of our computers’ speakers. An auditorium is a place. It’s where we go to have an assembly or see a play. Auditory is an adjective. It describes nouns. For example, I could say that I enjoy learning by auditory teaching methods. When someone speaks to me out loud, I find that I remember the information better than if I just read about it. In other words, I’m good at
