LET’S EXPERIMENT!
A new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) with a unique clinicopathological presentation may be linked to the disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in British cattle. Similar clinical, molecular, and neuropathological features have been observed in three BSE-infected macaque monkeys and 12 human cases of vCJD. In the human cases, spongiosis was evident in the striatum and thalamus, and was present in cortical areas and in the cerebellum. Abundant florid plaques, large cortical deposits of pathological prion protein, were present in both the macaques and the humans. The study provides evidence that the BSE agent in macaques is identical to that of vCJD in humans.

Let’s start by looking at parts of words
Words are made of word parts called morphemes.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
“un-” is a common morpheme;� we see it in a lot of words.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
What does the morpheme “un-” mean?
Morphemes are different from syllables.
Syllables are
word parts centered on a vowel sound that have no meaning.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Morphemes vs. Syllables
Let’s look at the word “Unladylike”
Syllables
un- la- dy- like
Morphemes
un lady like
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
4 syllables
3 morphemes
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
unamicable
un- amic -able
Prefixes
Are placed at the
beginning of a word.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
They change the meaning of the word.
Some common prefixes are�“-re”, “-dis”, and “-un”��What does each one mean?
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
How many prefixes can you think of in one minute?
LIGHTNING ROUND!
Be Careful.
Watch for Tricksters!
Tricksters
are words that start with the same letters as prefixes
but don’t really have prefixes.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
READ
Check out this word …
It looks like it has the prefix “re” ………but does it?
Some words contain 2 or more prefixes.�This is called a compound prefix.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
These words have compound prefixes:
dis•con•nect
dis•com•fort
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Turn to your neighbor
and think of some words with compound prefixes. You
have 1 minute.
GO!
LIGHTNING ROUND!
Let’s take a Suffix
Suffixes
Are morphemes that are at the
end of a word.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
A word that has the suffix “-able” is
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Loveable
The suffix “-able means can do or can be done.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
There
are
Inflectional
Derivational
Types
Of
suffixes
Inflectional suffixes are morphemes�that change:
OR show
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
The suffix “s” means more than one.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Inflectional suffixes do not change the�meaning of the word.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Derivational suffixes create a different�form of a word,�so the meaning of the word is changed.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
There
are
Suffixes
that are
both
Inflectional
and
derivational
-er
-en
-ing
Er – Belonging to, associated with (Farmer, smaller)
En – To become, or made of (Lengthen, wooden)
Ing – Something used in the action or process of (Lining, sleeping)
When adding suffixes remember these
Adding suffixes to words that �end in “y”
(Example: Play Playing)
(Example: Carry Carried)
(Example: Carry Carrying)
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
When adding suffixes to words that �end in a single consonant with a single vowel in front of it …�
(Example: Fit Fitting)
(Example: Fit Fitness)
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Another word that fits the �consonant doubling guideline” is:
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Run
The term compound suffix�refers to more than one suffix �at the end of the word.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
LIGHTNING ROUND!
Turn to your neighbor
and think of some words with a compound suffix. You
have 1 minute.
GO!
Roots
Can be at the beginning, middle or end of a word.
Roots can be the entire word.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Roots can be located at the beginning,�middle, or end�of a word.��A root can stand alone as the whole word.�
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
SCOPE
Scoped Microscopic Telescope
One morpheme can have�several meanings.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
“Arch” can mean chief, most important or rule.
Examples:
Archbishop, Archenemy, Matriarch
Different morphemes can have the same meaning�but different forms.�(Example: “micro” and “min” both mean small.)
Different morphemes can have the
same meaning�but similar forms.
(Example: “aster” and “astro” both mean space.)
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
(Hint: Look for the root. Each root gives a word it’s main meaning.)
If you are wondering about a word’s meaning …
For example: Root words “Aster” or “astro”�mean star.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
Asteroid
Astrosphere
Astronomy
Astronaut
Asterisk
Now let’s check out the strategy.
at the strategy steps listed in your handout.
Word Mapping Strategy
Map the word parts
Attack the meaning of each part
Predict the word’s meaning
See if you’re right!
“Map the word parts”�means�that you find the word’s�prefixes,�suffixes,�and roots.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
“Attack the meaning” means that you translate each �word part�into its meaning.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
“Predict the word’s meaning” means that you put the three�meanings�together and make your best�guess.
© University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning - 2012
“See if you’re right” means that you�check whether the �definition fits in the context of the �sentence.
