Homework

Monday- Create a prefix- root- suffix flipchart for your words. Directions: Take 5-6 sheets of paper and fold them in half to create a flipbook. Then cut your paper twice so that you have 3 even sections (like I showed you in class). Break the word down into the prefix (first tab on left), root word (second tab in middle), and suffix (third tab on the right). Write the meaning of the prefix/root/suffix on the back of the tab. View below for a video and notes on prefix, root, suffixes
