EL108: Teaching Assessment in Grammar

NAME: DARYL DARLENE D. FABRO

GRADE: VII
TOPIC: Affixes
I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. identify the different types of affixes.
b. practice using different affixes in varied activities.
c. create new words by adding affixes to root words.

II. ANTICIPATORY SET:

The teacher will divide the class into 7 groups and will ask each group to pick their representative,
and then the representatives will be given a piece of paper for them to write their answers. The
motivational game is called Rebus Puzzle. Using the PowerPoint presentation, the teacher will flash a
puzzle that contains a series of images and words as clues to create and reveal the word needed
which is related to the topic to be discussed. The first group to score 3 points will get a prize.
Words to be revealed:
rebus and puzzle (examples)
uncover, incorrect, mistake, arrogantly, freshness, careless, inhumanity, enrichment, nowadays, and
gasoline
III. DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS:
A. Preliminary practice: In this part, the teacher will ask the students to recall their last topic
about the base form of words or also known as root words.

B. Development phase:
Affixes
In English grammar and morphology, an affix is a word element that can be attached to a base or
root word to form a new word or new form of the word.
There are 4 types of affixes: Prefix, Suffix, Infix, & Circumfix.
A prefix is an affix that attaches before its base.
Ex. Anti-, De-, Dis-, En-, Im-, In-, Mis-, Re-, Sub-, & Un-
A suffix is an affix that is attached at the end of the base word.
Ex. -able, -ance, -ess -ful, -ish, -less, -ly, -ment, -ness, & -ous
A circumfix are affixes that consist of two parts – a prefix and a suffix that together create a new
lexeme from a base.
Ex. en-rich-ment = enrichment, im-perfect-ion = imperfection, & in-human-ity = inhumanity
An infix is an affix that is inserted right inside a root or base of word. It is the most rarely used affix in
English.
Ex. gas-o-line = gasoline, now-a-days = nowadays, & speed-o-meter = speedometer
IV. GUIDED PRACTICE:
The teacher will divide the class into 2 groups, a chosen representative will go in front to play
the game ‘charades with affixes twist’. When the group guessed the word, they need to quickly
add any affixes to it, or else the opposing group may steal the score. For 5 minutes, the team
with a higher score will get a prize.
V. CLOSURE:
The teacher will ask a certain student to recite all the types of affixes discussed and to explain
each type in a brief manner. This is also the part wherein the teacher will ask the students if
they have any questions about the topic discussed.
VI. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
The teacher will give each student an assessment form in which they need to answer a 10-
item questionnaire for 5 minutes.
