Understanding and Using Suffixes to Expand Vocabulary

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Understanding and Using Suffixes to Expand Vocabulary lesson plan also includes:

After a review of what suffixes are and how they are used, middle schoolers utilize a worksheet that is embedded in the plan to work in pairs to strengthen their understanding and skills in using these very important parts of our language. They brainstorm words that use each target suffix, and create a working definition of each suffix based on the words they've brainstormed. When finished, everyone shares the words they came up with which, in itself, will expand the class's knowledge of suffixes. Terrific instructional activity idea!
