Learning Objectives
Students will be able to choose the prefix that works with specific words in texts.
Introduction
(2 minutes)- Show students the words 'rehappy, redo, unable, unconnect, disusual, disassemble' on the board.
- Ask students what these words have in common (they all have a prefix attached at the beginning). Ask students which words sound right and which do not.
- Confirm students responses and emphasize that these words and nonwords show the importance of knowing which prefix to place in front of certain words.
