Some word part work lately focused on roots and has looked like this:
The best way I found to use this sort was to layout all of the root words (blue cards). Then students found the words (green cards) that used the roots. From their knowledge of that example word, they talked it out to find the definition of the the roots (pink cards). Then they added the information to the answer sheet and as a group came up with one more example word that contained the root.
