In this activity, you will be creating you own dictionary from the prefixes, roots and suffixes we’ve learned about. Your assignment:Make up your own words and create your own dictionary by choosing a prefix, root and suffix and putting them together to create a word, even if it’s a made up word!Include a prefix, root and suffix in every wordUse the definitions for the prefix, root and suffix you use to create definition and part of speech for the word – THE DEFINTION AND PART OF SPEECH SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE MEANING OF PREFIX, ROOT and SUFFIX!For every other word, you need to provide a small illustration or picture that represents that word/definition = 20 illustrations or more!For example – You have the prefix of hyper-quick, above, the root of memor-memory, and the suffix of –al = adjYou could create the word:hyper-memor-ial – adj –able to remember really well or quicklyAs you can see, the definition comes from the three parts and the part of speech is determined by the suffix. You MUST either break up the word by dashes OR color code each word part (blue for prefix, black for root, red for suffix) like aboveSpecifics:Your final MUST MUST MUST MUST be on WHITE UNLINED PAPER!!!!!! DO NOT USE BINDER PAPER!You must create at least 40 Words, using each root at least once! You cannot use words that already exist! You must make up your own.Words should be in Alphabetical order, just like a dictionaryLetter groups should be separated by a line or separate pageYour dictionary should be half size, meaning you take pieces of paper and fold them in half like a book.
