Encourage them to discuss any unfamiliar parts.  \n* **Check & discuss (5\u201110\u202fmin):** Go over the answer key as a class. Highlight any patterns (e.g., many disease names end in **\u2011itis**).  \n* **Extension (optional):** Have students write a short paragraph using at least three of the terms they just decoded (e.g., a mock patient chart note).  \n\n---\n\n**Tip for the teacher:** Print the tables on one side of a sheet, and the answer key on the back. You can also project the word\u2011part list and let students copy it into their notebooks for future reference.
