Project Root Word Powerpoint onto the board and teach lesson explaining what root words are as well as introducing prefixes and suffixes. This Powerpoint gives a few examples of specific affixes and their meanings. (10 Minutes)

When the power point is completed begin prepping for the Matching Word Parts activity. I have provided enough for the class but if more are needed here is the link to print more, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-oQX-cCsTGOMkJwLXF4WkN3STQ/view.  Students will fill out the boxes with appropriate affixes, root words, and definitions that can be placed together and matched to help them learn a words meaning. I have a completed example on my desk to base the students off of. This will go smoothly if students are told word by word what to write on each part of the project. Try to get this done in about 10 minutes.

When these are completed allow about 15 minutes for students to practice with this project.

Allow students about 15 minutes to play this root word memory game on the classroom laptops. Write this URL on the board so that students can type it in and find the game easily.  http://www.softschools.com/language_arts/root_words/root_words_memory_game/

Have the students put the laptops back in the cart to charge and bring them in to sit on the carpet on the floor. Use the Smartboard to make a chart containing a reflection of the root words and affixes that were learned today. This discussion can also be used as an opportunity to reteach anything that needs to be touched back on and to make sure all the students are grasping the concept.

Special Needs Learner:

When it comes time to practice with our Matching Word Parts activity I would sit with the student and use this as a one on one to help make sure they are grasping the concept.

I have instructions printed for anyone who needs to have a visual set in front of them.

There are also a set of easier words for students who are struggling.

Non-Native English Speaker:

When we are making the Matching Word Parts activity I will make sure to sound out every word and sound and even repeat them often so that this student can hear the correct way to pronounce every word.

It is important to repeat any information if necessary and slow down the lesson if needed.

I will make sure to use the board to write down the words so that the student is not only hearing the words but also seeing how they look being spelled out.

Gifted Student

I will give them extra copies of the Matching Word Parts template and challenge them try to come up with any words of affixes we don’t already have.

When we meet at the carpet at the end of the lesson I will call on them to present any new words or affixes that they have found.
