Notes to the teacher:An understanding of common prefixes and suffixes can increase a students comprehension morequickly than learning individual words in isolation. This series of books is organized around groups ofprefixes or suffixes that deal with common themes. Book 2 focuses on prefixes that make wordsnegative. In Unit 1, something that is not safe is unsafe. In Unit 2, a dissatisfied customer is notsatisfied. In Unit 3, socks that arent matched correctly are mismatched. In Unit 4, a car that is notpractical is impractical; an assignment that is not complete is incomplete. In Unit 5, a belief that isnot rational is irrational; an idea that is not logical is illogical.

At the outset, it may be helpful to give a basic presentation of the 8 parts of speech and their func-tions in English sentences. Often a prefix or suffix will be added to a word that is one part of speechin order to change it into another part of speech (teach-verb; teacher-noun) although in this particu-lar unit, that is not the case. It is important, however, to realize that when safe is changed tounsafe, it reverses the meaning of the sentence. If the meaning is to remain the same, as it shouldin the various written exercises, a negative word such as not or never must be added or removed.(This car is not safe. = This car is unsafe. // This car is safe. = This car is not unsafe.)

Each unit follows a similar format:

1. The prefix is introduced. An effective way to do this would be to think of words that students mayalready know and lead them to discover the pattern and meaning. (What does it mean to agree ordisagree with someone? What are abilities and disabilities? What does it mean to connect ordisconnect computer cords? What do these words have in common? [dis- prefix] What does the disindicate?) An alternate introductory activity where students match word pairs is also provided.

2. The first page of the actual unit (after the Alternate Introductory Activity) can be filled out together inclass. A teacher can either elicit informal definitions of the words, or provide them for the students. Itmight be helpful to write them on the board or an overhead to insure that students are writing downaccurate information. (unknown - not known) If desired, students can also include both word parts (un +known = unknown).

3. The second page with a list of common words that contain the prefix can be discussed with the class.Students can share words that theyve heard or teachers can ask questions. (What activities are illegal?What is illegible writing? What is an irregular polygon?) Once students see how common the prefix is,they are more apt to recognize the value of learning it. Once they have understood the pattern, they willbegin to notice words containing the prefix in conversation and/or print with a deeper understanding ofhow the English language functions. The teacher should also point out any unusual information, such asthe reason for two spellings for the prefix im-/ in-. (im- before words that start with m, b, or p; in-before all other words) or keeping both adjoining consonants (mis + spell = misspell).

4. The practices are designed to give students a structured opportunity to change a word to a new wordwith the prefix under consideration. There are 4 practice sets of 3 pages with increasing levels of diffi-culty. The first page of each practice set gives Cloze Sentences with context clues to guide the selection

(from a word bank) of the appropriate root word that needs to be combined with the prefix and inserted.In the last two pages, the students are asked to restate a sentence giving the same information in such away that they can use the new prefix with one of the words in the original sentence. The words to bechanged are underlined in Part A of each practice, but in Part B the students are asked to determine ontheir own which words to change. Each of the 4 sets follows this pattern. All of the words to bechanged are included on the list found on the second page of the unit, so students will always beable to refer to the list to see which words can be combined with the suffix. Be sure to point out thatwhen a positive word is changed to a negative word, in order to retain the meaning of the original sen-tence, other changes will have to be made.


12/44



Often that will involve the insertion or removal of another word with a negative meaning such as not,(Jim is happy./ Jim is not unhappy. Marta is not sure./ Marta is unsure.) never, (Tony is neversatisfied. /Tony is always dissatisfied.) or badly/wrong: in the case of mis. (I pronounced the wordbadly./ I mispronouncedthe word. I readthe time wrong. / I misreadthe time.)

5. Most units contain 3 games that can be used to reinforce the use of the prefix.Dominoes: The Domino Page should be laminated and then cut ONCE down the center white line, andthen across EVERY horizontal line, forming small rectangles that contain a word ending and a word be-ginning. This game works well with 2-3 individuals or teams. A teacher could choose to make enoughcopies of the game for each pair of students. One domino is placed face up and then students take turnsadding strips at either end to make words. The teacher can also require that the words be used in sen-tences. If small groups are playing without supervision, the teacher can ask the pairs of students to re-cord their words or sentences on a paper to be turned in. Students can decide in advance what shapetheyd like to make with the dominoes (circle, oval, rectangle, house, car). If students have matched thedominoes correctly, they will form an enclosed shape using all of the segments. At the end of the bookthere may be domino games that combine prefixes from several units. In this book, Units 1, 2, and 3 donot have domino games because there are no variations to choose from so that each domino wouldmatch every other one.4 in a Row: Students attempt to claim 4 adjacent squares in any direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal).Other students attempt to block them. This game works well for 2-4 students or teams. Students/teamstake turns trying to claim a square by adding a suffix to the word in the square. They can be asked tospell the word and/or use it in a sentence as well. They can then place a marker or their initials on thesquare and no one else can claim the square. Each person/team gets a turn to claim one square on thegrid. Play continues as students attempt to connect 4 squares in a straight line, or block opponents untilsome student/team succeeds in forming a straight line with 4 adjacent squares. The page can belaminated for reuse with a dry-erase pen. Colored buttons or paper markers can be used on a page, orthe page could be turned into a transparency for an overhead projector. Teams could easily use thisformat. At the end of the book there may be 4 in a Row games that combine prefixes from several units. Prefix Parade: Students draw cards with words to which prefixescan be added. Correct answers allow

them to move along a rectangular path containing pitfalls which need to be avoided.6. Each unit has a quiz.

7. Answer Keys are provided for the Student Practice Exercises. These are not the only possiblecorrect responses, but they are usually the most obvious. Any sentence is to be accepted thatcorrectly uses the underlined word in the answer key sentence while conveying the meaning in theoriginal sentence.

8. At the end of the book, there are combined review and assessment pages which deal with all of theunits in the book. The Prefix Parade game can be used with shuffled cards from all of the units. The unitnumbers can be removed from the cards if a higher level of difficulty is desired where students will haveto decide unaided which prefix or suffix to use with the word. (Copy the card pages. White out the unit

and unit numbers. Recopy and laminate.)

Prefix Parade Board Game

On the following page you will find the playing board for the Prefix Parade BoardGame. The playing cards will be included with each unit. Copy (and laminate ifdesired) the game board and cards. Cut out each individual card. The cards will be

shuffled and stacked face down in the center of the board as indicated. After complet-ing Unit 1, teachers can eitheruse just the cards for a particular unit, orcombine theunit cards with all previous cards. The unit number is included on the card for ease ofsorting after cards have been combined. If teachers dont want the number showingon the card It will help students decide which prefix to use rather than force them toremember. they can make an extra copy of the cards, white out the numbers and thenrecopy before laminating and cutting.

Directions:

Players race around the track by making words and/or sentencescontaining new words made from words on cards and a prefix.

1. Players roll a die. Even numbers move a player forward 2 spaces;odd numbers move a player 1 space. If a player lands on a Losea turn square, that turn ends (before drawing a card). Playersthat land on any other squares draw cards from the pile. Theymake new words with prefixes and spell the new words and/or usethem in sentences. [(logical) i-l-l-o-g-i-c-a-l - Bills idea is illogi-cal.]

2. A player can move one space for a correct spelling, and anotherspace for a correct sentence.

3. The first player to reach the finish line wins.
