Analyze Suffixes: -ly, -less, and -ful
Objective
Students will note the effects of adding a suffix to a word and then look for counter-examples to those patterns.
Steps
-
First, students will note what changes when we add the suffix -ful to three words.
-
Next, students look for what happens when we add the suffixes -less and -ly to three different words.
-
Finally, we ask students to look for examples of words with these endings that don't fit the patterns.
