Sarah- I really like this lesson idea. P: Prefixes and suffixes are such an simple concept with such a large impact on student learning and understanding of unknown words. Q: How can we as teachers let students know that knowing word origins is a skill that can transfer throughout their education and lives? P: Maybe just adding a essential question such as How can the prefix in one word help me determine the meaning of another unknown word with the same prefix?
