This activity dives into essential prefixes and suffixes in the English language. Students will explore ten word roots, each associated with specific meanings. For each root, learners will need to find and define two example words, enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of etymology. Engaging with terms like "anther" from "anthero" or "aquatic" from "aqu," students will not only expand their lexicon but also appreciate the connections between words. This exercise is ideal for enhancing linguistic skills and knowledge of word origins.
