Observation Lesson Plan

This document discusses analyzing word structure through prefixes, roots, and suffixes. It defines these word parts and provides examples of how they contribute to a word's meaning. Students will learn that prefixes come before the root word, suffixes come after, and the root is the base word. An activity is described where students will analyze example words like "reheated" and "dissect" by identifying their prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Finally, students will play an interactive game to practice applying their knowledge of affixes.

LEARNING COMPETENCY

 EN8V-IIIa-15.3: Explain the meaning of a word through structural analysis (prefixes, roots,
suffixes)

Objectives:

1. Define prefixes, roots, and suffixes.


2. Explain the meaning of a word through structural analysis (prefixes, roots, suffixes).
3. Use the appropriate affixes and suffixes to complete the idea.
4. Express enjoyment in playing the interactive game about Affixes.

II. LEARNING CONTENT

Lesson: Affixes

Preliminary Activity 1: Form new words by joining two or more words below.

im mark standard
re ly cycle
possible way effect
less marine bi
polite ed refuse
sub care ive
use start al

Answers:
1. impossible 10. carelessly

3. remark 12. substandard
4. reuse 13. marked
5. restart 14. started
6. useless 15. impolitely
7. politely 16. bicycle
8. subway 17. effective
9. careless 18. Refusal

Activity 2: Pick out the correct word part to complete each base word.
1. The man looks friend___ (ly)
2. The teddy bear is so cute and love (able)
3. No, that answer is ___correct. It is wrong. (in)
4. I’m sorry. I ____understood you. (mis)
5. I teach science in a university. I am a Physics teach___. (er)

Analysis:
 Write the word REHEATED on the board.
 Tell students: If you look at this word carefully, you might notice that it has smaller words hidden
inside.
 Underline the root word HEAT and explain that this is the root word and, even though it is part
of the word REHEATED, it can also stand alone.
 Explain: "A root word is the simplest form of a word. It can have beginnings and endings added
to it. When we combine root words with beginnings or endings, it creates new words. Now we
are going to look for the beginning and endings that were added to the root word HEAT."
 Point out the prefix RE- and explain that, in this word, RE- is the beginning, or prefix, that is
attached to the root word to alter its meaning (e.g. “RE- means again, so when we see this word,
we know that it means to ‘heat again.’”).
 Point out the suffix -ED and explain: "This is added to the end of the word, so it is called a suffix.
A suffix can change the part of speech or tense of a word. -ED is added to words to make them
past tense. That means the root word HEAT, a verb, happened in the past. So, now we know that
reheated means 'heated again in the past.'"
 Explain: "Each of these word parts contribute to the meaning of a word. Knowing about root
words, suffixes, and prefixes can help you determine the meaning of unfamiliar words."
 Explain: "We are going to dissect some words today to discover their meaning."
 Write DISSECT on the board.
 Explain: "DI- means two or double. SECT means cut."
 Write DI+SSECT on the board. Ask: “What does this word mean?” ('Dissect' means to cut in two).
Abstraction
The teacher will lead the students to the formation of the following concepts:

 A prefix is an affix which is placed before the stem of a word. Adding it to the beginning of
one word changes it into another word.
 A suffix is a letter or a group of letters that is added to the end of a word to change its meaning
or to form a different word.
 A root word has no prefix or suffix — it's the most basic part of a word.

III. Application

The students will play the Prefixes & Suffixes Adjectives - Interactive Game

Details: The class will be divided into 6 groups. Blue Team, Red Team, Green Team and Yellow
Team. The groups will have the turn in choosing the questions with the amount of 100 per
question. After each group had their turn, the first group will start again with the question worth
200 and so on with the other groups, until they finish with the worth 500.
