Quite a long slide show if all done at once (whole lesson perhaps). Could be used to introduce/review just prefixes or suffixes in one lesson by showing only 1 half of the presentation. Some slides could also be hidden.
Other than a brief explanation and examples for each prefix or suffix, I’ve tried to keep it quite straight forward so that their isn’t too much lecturing or reading required.
Recommend students use mini-whiteboards for the think-pair-shares or list on paper the examples pairs or small groups can come up with.
Been designed with ESL grade 3, 4 and 5 students as the target pupils, so repetitive language used with vocabulary building as a desired outcome.
