APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL EXERCISES
Unlike BASIC EXERCISES these tasks are not to be done necessarily. In any case they should not be done in the order given below. Nor should they all be done at every class. You choose as many tasks as you like to do. Your teacher will advise you for the best. These tasks are much more interesting and creative than BASIC EXERCISES, thus you can kill two birds with one stone combining seemingly incompatible aspects: serious study and enjoyable fun.
TASK 5. COLOURED CARDS I.
Form small groups of 3 or 4 people. Get two sets of colored cards: 1) cards with combining forms; 2) cards with their English meanings. Find all the correlating cards. Do it as quickly as possible. The first team which finishes the task is a winner.
TASK 6. COLOURED CARDS II.
Form small groups of 3 or 4 people. Get two sets of colored cards: 1) cards with medical terms; 2) cards with their explanations. Find all the correlating cards. Do it as quickly as possible. The first team which finishes the task is a winner.
TASK 7. HANGMAN.
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Work in pairs. Prepare a list of 10 terms and 10 explanations each. Now student A reads the list word by word to student B. Student B must immediately give the definitions for the terms and the terms for the definitions (time allowed from 3 to 5 seconds). If student B doesn't answer or gives a wrong answer, student A draws a gallows and a hanging man part by part. When 20 words are finished, students change their roles and start again.
TASK 8. LAST LETTER WORDS.
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Sit together forming a circle. Each student takes a sheet of paper and writes any combining form on it. Then simultaneously students start passing cards to the partner clockwise (or counter-clockwise, it doesn't matter. But it should be pre-established). When you get a card with a combining form, immediately write another one starting with the last letter of the previous combining form (combining vowel -o- should be dropped). Each combining form can be written only once in the list. Write combining forms not only from the current lessons, but any combining form you know. Don't waste time, for you will block the whole card flow.
E.g. gastro- rhino- neo- eosino- neuro- recto- ...
TASK 9. PART SWAP.
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Work in pairs. Student A writes a term. Student B chooses any part of the term and writes another one including this part. Student A in her turn writes another term including a part from the previous one. Remember that you can not use one component twice!
E.g. neuroencephalomyelopathy neurology gastroenterology gastroduodenitis ...
TASK 10. TERMS BACKWARDS.
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Work in pairs. Take a sheet of paper each and draw a vertical line roughly dividing it into two parts. Then in the left part write 10 terms (the longer the better) in column. After that swap the sheets and re-write the terms in the right part backwards. The student who accomplishes the task first wins. This task will dramatically improve your spelling.
E.g.
meningoencephalocele
neuroencephalomyelopathy
myelodysplasia
...
elecolahpecneogninem
yhtapoleymolahpecneoruen
aisalpsydoleym
...
TASK 11. LOTTO I
Get a lotto chart. Look through the terms in the chart. When you hear your teacher giving an explanation, promptly find the corresponding term and say it aloud. If you hesitate and another student gives the term first, you lose.
TASK 12. LOTTO II
Get a lotto chart. Look through the explanations in the chart. When you hear your teacher giving a term, promptly find the corresponding explanation and say it aloud. If you hesitate and another student gives the explanation first, you lose.
TASK 13. PING-PONG I
Work in pairs very quickly. Student A randomly gives any combining form from the current lesson, student B immediately names its meaning. Then student B randomly gives any combining form from the current lesson, student A immediately names its meaning. The task can be done in oral or written form.
E.g. adeno gland; arthro joint; bio life; carcino cancerous etc.
TASK 14. PING-PONG II
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Work in pairs very quickly. Student A randomly gives any English word from the current lesson, student B immediately names the corresponding combining form. Then student B randomly gives any English word from the current lesson, student A immediately names the corresponding combining form. The task can be done in oral or written form.
E.g. clot thrombo -; to cut tomo -; urine uro -; pain -algia -; cell -cyte etc.
TASK 15. MEMORY TEST
Look through the list of combining forms of the current lesson. How many combining forms are there? 28? Now close the list, take a sheet of paper and try to write down as many combining forms as you are able to remember. The student having written more combining form than her mates is a winner.
TASK 16. FIND COMBINING FORMS WITH ...
Work in pairs. Ask one another to find quickly a combining form with a definite letter. Allow 3 to 5 seconds for your partner to answer. Keep on changing your roles.
E.g. Student A. Find a combining form with L. Student B. -logy. Now find a combining form with PH. Student A. oophoro-. Now find a combining form with ...
TASK 17. LOSER PAYS
You’ll find the material you need in TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Work in groups of three people: a quizmaster and two players. Two players get a stack of toy bank notes. The quizmaster names a combining form, the players must give the corresponding meaning ( or 2. The quizmaster names a meaning, the players must give the corresponding combining form. or 3. The quizmaster names a term, the players must give the explanation. or 4. The quizmaster names an explanation, the players must give the corresponding term). The player who answers first is a winner - the loser gives him a bank note. Thus, the one thinking quicker gets money, the one hesitating loses it.
TASK 18. JACK-POT I
Form groups of four people. Each player gets a stack of toy bank notes. Players start giving combining forms from the current lesson. Naming a combining form a player puts one bank note on the table. At first to name a combining form is not a challenging task, but further on it gets more difficult, because it's not allowed to give one combining form twice. If a player doesn't know what to say, she puts two bank notes. The player who gives the last combining form hits the jack-pot.
