Use Roots and Prefixes
OBJECTIVES Students will C learn the prefix com-. C use their knowledge of prefixes; the roots sta,stit, ple, pli, plic, jud, jur, and jus; and context clues to unlock the meanings of words.
GUIDE STUDENTS
Remind students that they can use their knowledge of prefixes, roots, and context clues to figure out the meanings of many words. Direct their attention to the chart at the top of page 191. Point out the prefix and its meaning. Encourage students to list other words with the prefix com- and explain their meanings. Review the meanings of the roots in this unit. Read the activity directions with students. Remind them to use a dictionary to check their definitions.
PRACTICE Law and Order Part 2 191
Ask students to name the steps for completing each item: 1. Circle the familiar roots and prefixes in the boldfaced word; 2. Use those circled parts, plus the context, to determine the meaning of the word; 3. Write the meaning; 4. Check the meaning in the dictionary, and revise as needed. Remind students that using prefixes and roots is just one strategy for de- coding a word’s meaning. It often provides only partial clues to that meaning.
Reteaching Modeling the Process
Model how one might construct at least partial meaning using the word parts of restitution and constituent: We have learned that re- means “back” or “again,” sti means “stand,” and -tion is a noun-making suffix. I think restitution means “the act of getting back into good standing.” For constituent, we have learned that con- can mean “with” or “together” and sti means “stand.” I also think that -ent is a suffix on either nouns or verbs. Just by using this information, I can predict that constituent means “someone or something that stands together with someone or something else,” or “the act of standing together with someone or something else.” Now I will check my ideas about meaning in a dictionary.
