Lesson Plan 03: Use Open Source from Social Media or Other Sources

** Lesson Topic: ** Prefixes ** Subject Area: ** Language Arts

** Grade Level: ** 2 (or English Language Learners at intermediate level)

** PA Standards: ****1.1.2.B:** Use knowledge of phonics and word recognition (e.g., root words, prefixes, suffixes, and syllabication) to decode and understand new words during reading.

** Learning Objective: ** Students will be able to learn how word meanings change when beginning parts (prefixes) are placed at the beginning of a rootword.

** A. Engaging Activity: ** [|Affixes Song]- This contains lyrics and music that introduces prefixes and suffixes, and how they change a word. I would play the entire song, but have students focus only on prefixes. [|Prefix Image]- Here is an illustration that shows examples of prefixes.

** B. Teaching: ** Students can watch each of these videos to learn the meanings of several prefixes. Students can say along. [|Prefix Meanings 1] [|Prefix Meanings 2] [|Prefix Meanings 3]

[|Prefixes Fact Sheet]- Students would be able to view these on the smart board. As a class, we would discuss which prefixes belong on various root words.

** C. Assessment: ** [|Building Prefixes]- Students can play a game where they match prefixes to their meanings. [|Prefix Catch]Word parts fall from the sky. Students must distinguish those that are prefixes by catching them as they fall. [|Prefix Match]- Students match prefixes to their meanings. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">[|Prefix Quiz]-Students take quizzes at three levels 1-Easy, 2-Medium, and 3-Difficult to test their skills on prefixes.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** D. Creating: ** [|Flashcard Creator]- Students can use prior knowledge of what they learned about prefixes and their meanings, and make flashcards. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">[|Hands-On Prefix Activities] - In small groups, students will use magazines and newspapers and find prefixes and match to rootwords. Students can also use [|Shape Collage]to create a collage of prefixes and rootwords.
