The Intracoastal Atlantic
Waterway is a great natural treasure — a ribbon of
protected water that meanders along the United
States’ southeastern coast
from Norfolk to Key West
and on around the Gulf
Coast to Texas.
Far earlier than road or railway, telegraph or telephone, coastal settlements
were linked by water.
George Washington began
construction of the
Intracoastal’s northern terminus in the 18th century.
During World War II, the
importance of the Waterway assumed a new urgency. When the U. S. entered the war, German Uboats prowled within sight
of shore and began night
attacks.
After 23 vessels were sunk,
the U. S. Navy began
searching for a safer way to
transport supplies. Almost
overnight, sleepy villages
along the Intra-coastal —
Jacksonville, Beaufort,
Charleston — bustled with
the activity of the “bucket
brigade.”
intra-: Latin prefix meaning "within,
inside, on the inside"
intracoastal (on the inside + coast) (adj): The Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway which begins at Mile 0 in Norfolk
Atlantic and continues south into Florida is an interconnected thread of rivers, lakes, lagoons and canals stretching inside the southern and southeastern coast of the United
States. The Intracoastal Waterway is operated by the United
States Army Corps of Engineers.

intracranial (adj): Inside the skull. While browsing on the
Internet, I had a severe intracranial pain.
intramural (inside + wall) (adj): Existing or carried on within
the boundaries of an institution, especially a school. The

intranet (adj): For communication within a corporation,
from office to office either within the same building or anywhere in the world
intrastate (adj): A highway that begins and ends within
the same state. We took Intrastate 89 across Maryland.
intravenous (adj): In or within a vein; into a vein, especially by injection. The hard hat accepted the intravenous
shot with tranquillity. He was given the medication intravenously.
What’s In A
Intraject is the
world's first prefilled, disposable,
low cost, needlefree injector for the
delivery of liquid
medicines.
Product Name?
Vessels small enough to
navigate in shallow waters were used to transport war materials up and down the Waterway in stages, thereby avoiding the threat of attack in open seas.

An atlas with each of the U.S. states shown individually will be most helpful to students seeking information on
the Intracoastal Waterway (Think Links # 1- 4).
Initiate a discussion on the advantages of the new Intraject system of administering drugs (no pain, certainty of
delivering correct amount of medicine, sanitary).
Ask, “Which would more likely be affected by a malfunctioning satellite: Internet or intranet?” (Internet)

Be wary of words such as
extract and extradite that
are not “extra-” words but
are actually words with the
“ex-” prefix, and discuss
this with your students. If

further their understanding
of etymology by having
them look in a dictionary
to resolve whether their
word has an “ex-” or an “extra-” prefix.

“Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
99
The appearance of antecedent allows you to refresh
students’ memories for the
rules governing the agreement of pronouns and their
antecedents.
Try them with these examples:
“Every animal has their
own way of hunting.” This
is incorrect because animal,
the antecedent, is singular;
their, the pronoun, is plural.
“Everyone who gave their
opinion,” said John, “was
wrong.” (Everyone is singular; their is plural.)
“The garden club held
their annual meeting.”
(Garden club is singular;
their is plural.)
“No parent in their right
mind would allow a child
to hitchhike across the
country.” (Same as above.)
“If a person wants to do
their banking after hours,
they can.” (Same as above.)
cede: Latin root word meaning
"come, go, move, yield"
accede (to + yield) (v): To express approval or give assent;
to give one's consent, often at the insistence of another.
He acceded to the wishes of the President.
Place your periodical pearls here
antecedent (before + go) (n): Going before in time; preceding. Grammar: The word, phrase, or clause to which
a pronoun refers. What is incorrect in the following
sentence and why? “When a customer leaves my shop,
they feel fine.” How can you fix it?
10

being true, just, or proper; yield. I concede that I often get
flora and fauna mixed up.
exceed (out + go) (v): To be greater than; surpass; to go
beyond the limits of. The Pittsburgh Steeler exceeded
e v e r y o n e ’s
expectations. The SUNOCO
the speed limit. Watch the spelling on
dealer exceeded
this one!
intercede (between + go) (v): To plead on another's behalf; to act as mediator in a dispute. See Lesson 29. The
Security Council of the United Nations often intercedes in international disputes. Give at least one other
example of a person or group interceding on behalf
11
of another party.
precede (before + go) (n): To come, exist, or occur before
in time; surpass or outrank; go in advance of. Elvis Presley’s
death preceded my birth. Majors in the army precede lieutenants in rank. I will precede you into the diningroom.
precedent (n): A closely similar case in existence or
in the past. The Supreme Court ruling was without
precedent in legal history. unprecedented (adj): Having no previous example. The cascade’s great flow was unprecedented.
recede (back + go) (v): To move back or away from a limit,
point, or mark. The tidal waters were receding. Grandpa’s
hairline is receding.
“One day your child (singular) turns sixteen and you
allow them (plural) to borrow the car.”
“Nobody (singular) has received their (plural) report
yet.”
“If the person (singular) didn’t show up, we went out and got them (plural).”
