Lesson Plan
Hook/Before (Focus and Review)
How you will motivate students’ interests?
Ok so before we start we are going to watch a video about suffixes.
(play the video).
Like she said in the video, A suffix is a word part that is added to
the end of a root word. Adding a suffix to the end of a word
changes the word meaning. Let's review what a root word is. What
is a root word? (ask class) A root word is the main part that gives it
meaning. A suffix can change that meaning.
Although there are a lot of suffixes out there, Today, we will be
focusing on 5 common suffix we see often (Read suffixes) On
board:
 Teach(root) -er (suffix)
-er One who/ Comperative
-ful Full of
-ly Characteristics of
-ing Verb form present
-ment Action or process

(Go over each suffix and ask for examples)

suffixes can change meaning

Model/Guided Practice/During
-Hope - I hope you do a good job on the test
-Hopeful - I am hopeful I will do a good job on the test.
-Suffix ful means to be full of. Can anyone else think of an example
of another word that we can add -ful to (Cheerful)
-People who do, things that do, more (teacher, printer, higher)
-We now will pass around the suffix ball. After you say your
example, try and explain how it changes the word then pass it.

Now I will split you up into groups and you will create a dance to
the song we played in the beginning for 50sec.
Make sure you use the space, be creative, you can use props, and
make sure everyone participates.

Once the students are done with the performing.

Just to review what is a suffix?
a word part that is added to the end of a root word.
When you add a suffix to the end of a word what does it do to it?
Closure/Evaluation/After Change the meaning
Can someone give me one more example of a word with a suffix?

For students that struggle during the suffix ball game I will have the
suffixes and meanings on the board as a reference and I will help
guide them. For the dance, if a group finishes creating their dance
Accommodations
before other groups I will have them pass the suffix ball around
again until other groups are done.
