Candidate’s Name: Shaindy Gold
Grade Level: 2
Title of the lesson: Prefixes and Suffixes
Length of the lesson: 45 minutes
Central Focus
Recognize and read prefixes and suffixes correctly
|
Knowledge Of Students To Inform Teaching
Phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, letters, and alphabets, letter-sound correspondence
|
Common Core State Standards
Decode words with common prefixes and suffixes.
|
Support Literacy Development Through Language
Language Function:
Speak using proper tenses, such as past, present and future tense and use singular and plural words correctly.
Learning Task
Students will create sentences based on a mix and match of root words, prefixes, and suffixes.
Language Demands
Students will understand the importance of, and implement correctly prefixes and suffixes when reading and speaking. Students will understand that prefixes are found at the beginning of words and can change a word's original meaning and suffixes are added onto the end of words, to change the way a word fits into a sentence grammatically.
Vocabulary
Prefix, Suffix
Discourse
Students will recognize, read and make oral use of prefixes and suffixes based on meaning and sentence structure.

Learning Objectives
We will decode words with common prefixes and suffixes.
We will use proper tenses based on sentence structure and meaning.
We will use correct wording for singular and plural words.
|
Informal assessment:
Students will work in groups for the task. They will be provided with several sentence strips. Each strip will contain either a suffix, root word or prefix and students will mix and match the strips to create meaningful sentences. Students will then present sentences to class.
This activity focuses on all students because some are good presenters, others are fluent readers, or have the creativity to produce a meaningful sentence.
This activity is a great way for the teacher to assess students’ understanding of the lesson.
Children with reading and/or writing difficulties can listen to an audio recording of a story and clap by prefixes and suffixes to show their understanding.
The teacher will walk around the classroom to assess students’ progress and offer guidance when necessary.
Formal assessment:
Perform running record and miscue analysis to inform teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.

Instructional Procedure:
Read-aloud a book that has a lot of words with common prefixes and suffixes. Suffixes used will be those that change the tense or plural/singular of a word or sentence. The teacher will stop every time a prefix/suffix is read and ask how this word is different than other words. Then the teacher will discuss with students why specific prefix/suffixes were used and will have students explain how the meaning of a sentence is changed when different prefix/suffix is applied.
Reread the book and have students wave hands every time a prefix/suffix is read correctly.
Students will work in groups for the task. They will be provided with several sentence strips. Each strip will contain either a suffix, root word or prefix and students will mix and match the strips to create meaningful sentences. Students will then present sentences to class.
Practice will help students easily be able to decode prefixes and suffixes.
This activity focuses on all students because some are good presenters, others are fluent readers, or have the creativity to produce a meaningful sentence. Students that do better when listening will gain much from the read aloud, while students that work better by doing work hands-on can be successful in the group activity.

Reflection:
At the end of the lesson if students master all these points I know that the lesson was successful, if not I will reevaluate and see how I can change the lesson and reteach the concepts.
Know the meaning of a prefix and suffix
Decode words with common prefixes and suffixes
Add suffixes to create words proper tenses, such as past, present and future tense based on sentence structure and meaning.
Add suffixes to create singular and plural words based on sentence structure and meaning
