Assessment At the end of this unit, you will be given a quiz.
Essential Questions How can I figure out the meaning of a new word by breaking down the parts?
The Lessons for this Unit You will create an organizer to help you remember the definitions of prefixes, suffixes, root
words and base words.
Create flash cards with prefixes and suffixes
Review prefixes and suffixes from previous grades
Practice using new prefixes and suffixes
Group writing activity Game Practice Create a Bulletin Board
Hook BrainPop http://www.brainpop.com/english/grammar/rootsprefixesandsuffixes/
Real World Prefixes and suffixes are an important part of learning vocabulary.
Most standardized tests include words with prefixes and suffixes to test vocabulary.
Activities
Activity 1 – Create Organizer
Go over the following definitions and examples while
students create an interactive organizer explaining the
vocabulary words used in this unit.
Activity 2– Review and Introduction of New Prefixes and Suffixes
Note to the Teacher
Over the next four days students will review prefixes
and suffixes they were taught in the lower grades and
introduced to new prefixes and suffixes. Word cards are
available to help with this. Run off the cards onto
cardstock. Students will simply fold each card in half and
glue the inside. The prefix or suffix will be on one side of
the card and its definition will be on the reverse side.
Use these cards in the following ways:
as response cards to help the students recall the meanings
Write a base word or root word and have students hold up a prefix or suffix that may
be added to the word. Discuss meanings.
Pockets are available for storing these cards in student organizers.
Four worksheets may be printed for practice.
Third Grade Prefixes dis- non- re- un- disagree nondescript rebound unabridged

disarrange nonabsorbent rearrange unavoidable
disfavor nonmagnetic rename unnecessary
disrespect nonliving recook undecided

After copying, cut off the extra around the four sides of the organizer. Have students write key words in the definitions. Next have the students write
examples of each inside the organizer. Fold the right side on the dotted line towards the center. Fold the left side on the dotted line towards the center.
Cut on the solid lines on the right and left sides of the organizer, leaving the middle uncut.
Students will continue to add to their
organizer notebooks. After running off the prefix and suffix cards, have the
students cut the cards apart, and then
glue the definitions on the back. By doing so the cards may be used to build
words. The base and root words do not have definitions as their main purpose is
to promote word building.
Have the students try to use a prefix, base or root word, and a suffix. See how
many real words can be made.
