Give students a list of affixes and their meanings (e.g. Nation 2008, p. 111*). You should write each affix on one side of a cue card, and the meaning on the backside.

2. give a list of roots (that might be their target vocabulary) on other cue cards.

3. have students make up their own words by putting the cue cards together. You can have them make singular or compound words.

1. Collect labels of expiry dates (food cans, bread tag, driver's license, passport, lotto/theatre tickets...)
2. In a chart, have students write the numeric date (note cultural differences in Month/ Date/ Year vs Date/ Month/ Year), the date in words, and the item description, and why they think the item only lasts that long

Students must be familiar with numbers & months, chart-making, "to be" in simple present tense
