Q1:  What should morphology instruction look like for students at different grade levels?
Q2: Can you identify differences about morphology between your mother tongue and the Standard American English, and then predict some problems that EL students may face from your own learning or teaching experience?
Q3: In chapter 11, Curzan(2005) introduced several classroom activities focusing on spelling. What kind of teaching methods or activities would you like to use to help students explore English spelling and the language itself?

e.g. Elevators
(root: elevate; stem: elevator)
1. elevate + -or (derivational suffix)
2. elevator+ -s (inflectional suffix)

1. recept + -or(derivational suffix)
2. thermo- (derivational prefix) + receptor
3. thermoreceptor + -s (inflectional suffix)

root: familiar; un-  "not" + familiar (adj.)+ i + ty-->ties

re(derivational prefix)+ investigate + ing(inflectional suffix)

root: normal
1. ortho- + normal (derivational)

Q1: K1-K6 basic vocabulary (e.g., tree structures of compound words); K7-K12 rule

Q2:  Chinese consists of independent/free morphemes, no affixes. So Chinese students may be confused when faced with morphological changes, especially inflectional ones.

Q3: We can ask students to think of alternative spellings for known words

Q2: It is difficult for ELs to learn morphology (prefix and suffix) at the beginning because there is no similar concept of words' structure when learning Chinese.

Q1. For students of lower grades we will emphasize more the spelling of the words.
For students of higher grades they will gradually learn the regular from their English experience, and we may introduce the morphology systematically.

Q2. Chinese character each is a free morpheme, so there's no inflection. Sometimes EL students may forget the inflectional morphemes.

Q3. Dictation. Spelling Bee. Making word cards.
