Morpheme Triangles & Meaning Maps

This resource, created by Jessica Mitchell, introduces morpheme triangles used for analyzing words with three morphemes, such as "trans-," "port," and "import." It also covers morpheme rectangles for words with four morphemes, including "spectacle" and "wonderful." The process involves mapping target words and branching out with examples and information related to each word. This engaging method is based on vocabulary growth strategies cited in research by Winters (2009) and Dalton & Grisham (2011) that utilize interactive learning for enhanced word consciousness.
