Summer 2005 A.4

Objective MD01.01

Describe medical word roots, prefixes and suffixes.

Teaching/Learning Activities

Critical Thinking A
Given a medical word component, have students create an audionym for the term. The student creates a visual that sounds like the component and the picture helps illustrate the meaning. The more unusual the word association the greater chance the student will remember it. (Examples: The word hyper: sounds like high purr. Have the students visualize a cat high in the tree. The term means high or elevated. The root word erythro sounds like A red nose. Erythro means red.) Note to Teacher: This activity may be done as a whole class or in groups prior to having students attempt to memorize roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The audionyms the students create will serve as memory aides for learning terminology.

Teamwork

Give students a copy of Medical Terminology - Root Words. (Appendix MD01.01A) Have students make flash cards and work in pairs to learn the word roots. The same process may be used for Medical Terminology - Prefixes and Suffixes. (Appendix MD01.01B)

Teamwork A
Working in pairs, have the students trace an outline of one of their bodies on a long sheet of paper. Students then draw and label parts of the body using medical terms. (Example: cardi- points to the heart and hepat- points to the liver.) Note to the Teacher: This help the students start to learn where the organs are located in the body as well as the root words.

Technology

Have students learn word elements by utilizing medical terminology videos and software. There are multiple computer software programs and videos available which focus on medical terminology. Quite often, medical terminology textbooks come with a related tutorial software program.

HOSA

Have the students start a medical terminology notebook. This notebook can be a great resource preparing for HOSAs Medical Spelling and/or Medical Terminology competition.

Special Needs

Each student will reach the highest level of mastery in the least restrictive environment as recommended in the students IEP.

Summer 2005 A.5

Objective MD01.02

Analyze words commonly used in medical/dental care.

Teaching/Learning Activities

Cognitive

Have the students participate in a teacher-led discussion on how word components are combined to form medical terms. After the discussion, have the students practice dissecting combined medical terms and identifying the components in the word as well as the definition (Appendix MD01.02A)

Employability Skills Technology R

Have students complete the Matching Health Careers activity. (Appendix MD01.02B)

Have the students surf the Internet and look for medical case studies or articles. They should make note of medical terminology words used in the article and try to define them by taking the terms apart and identifying the root words, suffixes, and prefixes. They should verify their definitions by using a medical dictionary. (If Internet is not available, the students may use medical journals.)

Critical Thinking

Working individually or in pairs, have the students invent/design and construct games or word puzzles using medical terms. Note to Teacher: Scrabble games can be picked up in yard sales and the students can play Scrabble forming medical words.

HOSA

Have the students participate in Medical or Dental Spelling and Medical or Dental Terminology events in class. This will help prepare students for the regional, state, and national competition. Have students type dictated medical histories on computers. This is great practice for one of the skills in the Administrative Medical Assisting Event.

Teamwork

Divide the class into teams of 2-4 students and complete the Medical Terminology Challenge. (Appendix MD01.02C) Make 3-4 sets of cards using root words, prefixes and suffixes. Divide the class into 3-4 groups, giving each a set of cards. The teacher can read out a definition and the students must make the correct word using the cards. The first team to give the signal they are done wins. You can make the signal something fun, and let teams accumulate points.

Special Needs

Each student will reach the highest level of mastery in the least restrictive environment as recommended in the students IEP.

Daily Lesson Plans

Unit A:
Lessons: Hours: Steps
Focus and Review

Medical/Dental Terminology
4 6 clock hours Lesson #1
Give students a list of Root Words. In pairs, see how many medical terms they can generate from the list of roots in 3 minutes. MD01.01 Describe medical word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Explain the importance of understanding the language of medicine. Explain that the lists (Roots, prefixes and suffixes) are just a beginning toward building their medical vocabulary. Explain that you will give a daily Fill-in-the-Blank quiz each day, and a multiple choice test at the end of the unit.

Lesson #2
QUIZ Root Words Grade the quiz in class.

Lesson #3
QUIZ Prefixes Grade the quiz in class.

Statement of Objectives Teacher Input

MD01.01 Describe medical word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Allow students class time to make flash cards for prefixes and suffixes. In small groups, allow students to create a game to help learn medical terms. They will be asked to share their games in class tomorrow, either as a demonstration or to play with the rest of the class. Note: Medical Spelling is scheduled for day 4 of this unit. In pairs, allow students to study prefixes and suffixes. Work on development of terminology game.

MD01.02 Analyze words commonly used in medical/dental care. Students will spend most of the class period playing the games they developed. This will serve as a good review and help the class get to know each other.

Guided Practice

If available, have students watch Medical Terminology videos. Have students make a flash card for each root word. Quiz each other on root words.

Complete the Matching Health Careers worksheet. Find the Medical Spelling guidelines at www.hosa.org Become familiar with the guidelines. Complete the Medical Terminology Identification as a self-test. Tell them of their quiz during the next class period.

Independent Practice

Homework using flash cards, have a parent or friend quiz the students on the root words. Give a verbal practice quiz of root words. This will help students determine where they are in terms of knowing the root words. Tell them of their quiz during the next class period. Root word list Index cards

Finish development of terminology game. Study for quiz. Give a verbal practice quiz of prefixes. This will help students determine where they are in terms of knowing the prefixes. Tell them of their quiz during the next class period. Prefix and Suffix list Root Word quiz

Statement of Objectives

MD01.02 Analyze words commonly used in medical/dental care. Serve as the moderator for Medical Spelling. Begin by giving the Multiple Choice test. Using test results, line students up in order from lowest to highest score. Start the spelling bee, beginning with the person with the lowest score on the test. Run the spelling event following the HOSA guidelines and the spelling list in this unit. Add words as needed. Give awards to the top 3.
