Important Reminder: Friday the 22nd was the last day to hand in late and revised work for Term 1. If you have an F, see me. 1. Bell-Ringer:Prepare to watch the movie again -- fill out anything you need to from the movie so far on the chart in your composition book, and receive your spelling to study for the test next week: your first prefix or suffix and the set of words that goes with it.
Our spelling for second term will focus and word parts -- prefixes and suffixes -- and commonly used words that include those word parts. We'll work with one word part at a time, along with spelling the example words on the chart, with a test every week or so.
Prefixes and Suffixes Chart 2010 -- This is a file to download.
A2 may not have received their handouts today for this assignment.Your first prefix is bi- which means two or halves. Test on November 4.
When you write it on the spelling tests, make sure you include the hyphen after it: bi-.
You will also spell the words bicycle, bisect, binoculars, and bimonthly.
If you can tell the meaning of each of those words (according to the word parts) you will receive more credit.
1. bicycle = two circles or wheels
2. bisect = cut into two parts
3. binoculars = involving two eyes (Ocular refers to the eye.)
4. bimonthly = every two months or twice a month
No retakes will be available, so study the words and word parts sets as they come.
