<p> Unit 1: Prefix/Root/Suffix Activity</p><p>Purpose: Throughout the course of this class, we will cover many new vocabulary terms. Understanding prefixes, roots, and suffixes will help tremendously in decoding words and interpreting meaning. In this activity, you will look at some of the prefixes/roots/suffixes covered in this unit in more detail—you will be responsible for knowing the meaning of all the terms, but you will choose just 6 to examine in more detail. Procedure: 1. Choose 6 prefixes/roots/suffixes from the list provided 2. To BEGIN, go to our class and click on the root words template. 3. Create a web with the terms chosen (modify the template).  The center of your web will say “Unit Title—Roots” along with a related “root” image  Branching out from the center you will have 6 lines that each extend to your 6 prefixes/roots/suffixes, along with an image that matches the term.  Branching out from each of your six terms will be three more boxes: o One box will include the definition/meaning of the prefix/root/suffix o The second box will include a list of at least 4 terms in which this prefix/root/suffix is found – on this list, CAPITALIZE and bold the term you chose to use in context o The third box will include one of the terms in which the prefix/root/suffix is found and will be used in context - underline this term in the sentence 4. When finished save the document. 5. Print your concept map. 6. If not printed in color, add color to the common levels of the web with your colored pencils so that each level is color coordinated (ie. Blue = definition, yellow = terms, pink = context).</p><p>Source of words has been adapted from lists found on: Campbell, Biology: Concepts and Connections 5e, Online Textbook.
