Week 9 IT 32 Suffixes ful and less

Week 9 IT 32 Suffixes ‘-ful’ and ‘-less’ • This teacher led activity aims to remind children of the ‘-less’ suffix which they met in week 8, when it was introduced as reversing the meaning of the word. • This time, the ‘-less’ has been paired with it’s opposite ‘-ful’, so the children see that fearful means he has lots of fearless means the reverse, he has no fear The children are asked to add the suffix which means ‘ has lots’ (fearful), or the suffix which means ‘has none’ (fearless). • The next slide is an answer sheet for each child to go along with the IT presentation, and should be printed, and given to the children before the start. • There are 2 examples to start, when the children get the chance after the feedback to suggest ‘why’ the ending is correct. • Children should then write in their choice of suffix on the answer sheet for the remaining questions after each slide is shown. • They then discuss their reasons for their choice with the teacher when they receive correct feedback on screen, with the prompt ‘Why? ’ on some of the slides.
