LI: To create a digital escape room that allows others to practise their knowledge of prefixes and suffixes

 

This week I learnt how to create a digital escape room using Google forms. All my questions are on the affixes because writing the questions/answers and wrong answers really made me think about how challenging should I make my questions and made me think about what to do.

I found this activity fun and challenging because I was able to create a digital escape room and it was fun for me trying others digital escape rooms and also my own.

Mrs Anderson has created a page on our site with all our escape rooms on it. Click on this link to crack our codes and increase your knowledge of affixes.

 

 

LI: To build words from a base word using prefixes and suffixes

 

This week we have been learning how words are build from a base word using suffixes and prefixes. A base word is a complete word by itself that changes when you add a prefix or suffix. Our challenge is to see how many words we could make from one base word. In this DLO the word we used was ‘excite’.  

I found this activity interesting because I learnt how suffix and preffix can change the meaning of a base word for example the prefix is un + base word excite the suffix is the group of letters at the end like ed which makes the word unexcited, un is means the oppisite of something and excite meaning being happy or overjoyed and the suffix is ed that means past tense.
