Morphemes Lesson 1 com- cogcol- con- cor- mean with, together Think of words that begin with comor one of its alternate spellings: coexist component cognominal consist Remember, only write boxed info.

Morphemes Lesson 1 com- cog- col- con- cor- with, together Write the words cognominal, concept at the far right of your notes in the “Example” column for these prefixes.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Your notes should look something like this: P r e f i x e s Morphemes Meaning Example com- cogcol- con- cor- with, together cognominal, concept

Morphemes Lesson 1 This lesson has 4 roots. Write “Roots” outside the far left margin of your notes. The first one creat to make means ØThe focal word in this lesson for creat is creation.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Notes will look like this: Morphemes R o o t s Meaning Example creat to make creation nomin to name nominate nomen cap cip cept to take, hold, catch concept, caption capt ceive ceipt ceit ject jet to throw injection

Morphemes Lesson 1 nomin nomen mean to name Focal word is nominate.

Morphemes Lesson 1 The next root is cap cip cept Some alternate spellings are capt ceipt ceive Roots that make up many words have capof alternate spellings. a number cip cept capt ceive ceipt ceit mean to take, hold, catch Focal words are concept, caption.

Morphemes Lesson 1 The next root is ject, jet. ject jet mean to throw Focal word is injection. Before we learn the last three, suffixes, your notes should look something like this:

Morphemes Lesson 1 Morphemes R o o t s Meaning Example creat to make creation nomin to name nominate nomen cap cip cept to take, hold, catch concept, caption capt ceive ceipt ceit ject jet to throw injection

Morphemes Lesson 1 The first suffix is -ate is often a verb (v. ), occasionally an adjective (adj. ) -ate means (v) to do, make, cause (adj. ) relating to Ø The most common definitions are listed first for all morphemes. The focal word for –ate is nominate.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Suffix notes will look like this: S u f f i x e s Morphemes Meaning -ate (v. ) to do; to make; to cause (adj. ) relating to Example nominate -al -ial (adj. ) relating to -eal -ual conceptual -ion –sion (n. ) condition, quality, act of -tion -ation -ition exception

Morphemes Lesson 1 The next suffixes are -al –ial –eal -ual -al -ial -eal -ual is an adjective (adj. ). mean (adj. ) relating to Focal word is conceptual.

Morphemes Lesson 1 The last suffix in Lesson 1 is -ion –sion –tion -ation –ition. -ion -sion -tion -ation -ition mean (n. ) condition, quality, act of The focal word for –ion –sion –tion -ation –ition is exception.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Let’s check suffix notes: S u f f i x e s Morphemes Meaning -ate (v. ) to do; to make; to cause (adj. ) relating to Example nominate -al -ial (adj. ) relating to -eal -ual conceptual -ion –sion (n. ) condition, quality, act of -tion -ation -ition exception

Morphemes Lesson 1 The next step is to make flash cards. ØUse your notes to make your flash cards. ØYou should now have 11 morphemes: 4 prefixes, 4 roots, 3 suffixes. Ø Use 11 3” x 5” index cards and an orange marker. ØThe information under the “Morphemes” column of your notes will be written on one side of the card; the “Meaning” and “Example” information on the other side of the card.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Punch a hole in the top left of each card with a hole punch. Ø Write L 1 (Lesson 1) at the top right corner of each card. L 1

Morphemes Lesson 1 ØWrite the morpheme on the side with the hole at the left. Be sure dashes are after prefixes and before suffixes. List parts of speech of suffixes (n, v, adj). comco- cog- colcon- cor- L 1

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Flip the card over and write meaning from your notes. Ø Write the examples from your notes, as shown. with, together ex. : concept, cognominal

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Put finished cards on a book ring attached to your desk. You MUST have them for class each day. ØThe next step is to write analyzed words for Lesson 1. Ø Review your flash cards at least once a day. Ø You will receive a copy of the worksheets soon. Ø As you acquire a number of cards, alternate studying roots one day, then prefixes and suffixes the next day.

Morphemes Lesson 1 ØAnalyzing focal words is the first of the exercises. Focal words are in the “Example” section of your notes. Below is a list of 15 words to analyze. nominate nominal cognomen cognominal create creation injection abject eject conception conceptual caption exceptional

Morphemes Lesson 1 The format is the same for analysis of any word: Øfocal word Ømorpheme = meaning ØAD= meanings put together (begin with suffix/root) ØDD= dictionary meaning of the word

Morphemes Lesson 1 ØWrite the numbers to the right of the words, as shown. Numbers indicate how many morphemes make up each word. nominate 2 nominal 2 cognomen 2 cognominal 3 create 1 creation 2 injection 3 abject 2 eject 2 conception 3 conceptual 3 caption 2 exception 3 exceptional 4

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Let’s analyze the first two words together: Ø Students may analyze words vertically in two columns on notebook paper, or one column if they prefer. At the top right of the paper, write your name. At the top center, write ML 1 -Analyzed Words Write nominate at the top left of the page, first line. Look at the list of 15 focal words you just copied. According to the number written beside the word, nominate has 2 morphemes.

Morphemes Lesson 1 Using your notes, on the next line under the word, write the 2 morphemes that make up the word nominate: Using your notes, write the definition that seems to fit best for each morpheme (always write part of speech for a suffix): nominate nomin = to name -ate = to cause (v. )

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Now write AD: for analyzed definition and DD: for dictionary definition on the next lines. ØStart with the suffix, and put the two definitions together for the analyzed definition, or AD: 1. nominate nomin = to name -ate = to cause (v. ) AD: DD: = to cause to name = to name or designate to a duty or office

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Dictionary definitions may be researched and entered after all analyzed words are done (1 DD per word). Ø Be sure to note similarities in dictionary definitions and analyzed definitions. 1. nominate nomin = to name -ate = to cause (v. ) AD: DD: = to cause to name = to name or designate to a duty or office

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Skip a line and write the next word, nominal, and analyze it. Ø Continue vertically down one side of the paper until you run out of room. Ø Begin a second column for the remaining words. 2. nominal nomin = to name -al = relating to (adj. ) AD: DD: = relating to naming = being such in name only (so-called); named as a mere matter of form (trifling)

Morphemes Lesson 1 ØYour paper should look similar. A root’s meaning may include a suffix to make the definition flow smoothly (-ing, -ed). 1. nominate nomin = to name -ate = to cause (v. ) = to cause to name AD: DD: = to name or designate to a duty or office 2. nominal nomin = -al = AD: = DD: = to name relating to (adj. ) relating to naming being such in name only (so-called); named as a mere matter of form (trifling)

Morphemes Lesson 1 Ø Now finish all 15 analyzed words to turn in for a grade. Ø You will soon receive worksheets for this lesson. The exercises are due the day before your quiz over ML 1.
