Presentation

Introduction Activating Prior Knowledge: I will ask them what they know about prefixes
and suffixes
○ have them name a few prefix and suffix examples, it can be
words or just the connectors
Sequence of ● I will teach at a moderate pace with PowerPoint, so the students
activities have time to retain the content and take notes on the handout.
○ 1. I will show a YouTube video illustrating the use of
affixes: "Prefix or Suffix" by The Bazillions, What are
Prefixes?, What are Suffixes?
■ I will conduct a Guided Practice activity where
students will fill out a prefix-suffix chart (Graphic
organizer/Vocabulary) with sentences and word
examples. The students will have the choice to work
independently or in a group of 2-3.
● GRM
○ I do

 ○ You do
■ I will go over the quiz that I created
● set the expectation that I want the students to
get 80% of the questions right on the test.

Lesson ○ The students will most likely finish the quiz.

Wrap-up ○ I will remind them that prefixes are in the beginning (state
some prefix examples) and suffixes are at the end (state
some suffix examples).
○ I will ask students if they have any lasting questions about
the affixes.
