In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-8, students use BrainPOP resources to explore the function of root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Students will create new words by adding prefixes and suffixes to root words, and increase their vocabulary by applying prefix and suffix knowledge to real-world situations.
