5. Presentation

Class, I will give you a text and you read it silently.

The title of the text is “The First Plane”. I will give you
5 minutes to read.

The First Plane

The first plane was designed by Wilbur and Wright.
The day they flew it, it was unable to fly high.
They knew that designed was imperfect.
The brothers were unhappy, but they also knew
that flying was impossible. They replaced their old
designed with a new one, and it proved to be a big success.
 Students are
reading.

6. Discussion

Today, our topic is “Identifying unfamiliar words

through structural analysis using prefixes. But
before we discuss, I would like to remind
you again the L and B.
 Yes teacher! We will
listen and behave.

Very good! Let’s define Prefix. Mark, you read

the definition of Prefix.
Mark: A prefix is a word
part added to the
beginning of a root
word.

It is so clear, that a prefix is a syllable or a word

part added to a root word. Class, when a prefix is
added to a root word the meaning of it will be
change. Now, we are going to tackle 4 basic prefixes
such as un-, im-, dis-, re-. Are you now ready to
know each prefix ?
Yes we are.

Good! Let’s start with prefix “un-“. The meaning of

this prefix is “not”. Let’s take 2 examples and let’s
use it in a sentence in order for us to understand.
Here’s an examples, unbelievable and unhappy.
Let’s start with unbelievable. The root word is?

Michael: believable
Correct! Kobe Bryant’s shots were unbelievable.
Meaning to say?

Erica: Kobe’s shots were

not believable.

Yes. What happened to the root word when prefix

‘’ un-‘’ was attached?
Jenephine: The meaning
was changed.

Exactly! Let’s proceed to unhappy. What is the

root word?
Carl: happy

Correct! King lion becomes unhappy. What happened

to king lion?
 Danilo: He becomes
lonely.

If we are going to take out the prefix to the

root word, what would be the message of the
sentence?
SeinZein: king lion
becomes happy.

Yes! So meaning to say when a prefix is added to

a root word the meaning will be change. Here’s a
couple of words with prefix “un-“ , unfair, uncover,
unlock, unequal, unkind, unpack, unhappy. Who can
give a root word that prefix “un-‘’ can be attach?

Jenephine:
un+safe=unsafe.

Very good! What else?

Erica: un + just = unjust.

Very good! Let’s move to prefix “im-“. The

meaning of this prefix is ‘’no’’. Here’s an
examples, imperfect and impossible. In order
to understand it, let’s use them in a sentence.
Let’s take impossible first. What is the root word?
Shein: possible

Exactly! To defeat king lion is impossible. Meaning

to say?

Bob: To defeat king lion

is not possible.
Yes! Second example is imperfect. What is
the root word?
Rusell: perfect

Exactly! Carl gets imperfect score in mathematics.

What happened to Carl?
 Mark: His score was not
perfect.

Very good! If we take out prefix “im-“what would be

the message?
Jenephine: Carl gets
perfect score.

Yes! Here are some words containing prefix

“im-“, impractical, immortal, improper, impossible,
imperfect, immature, impartial, impatient, immortal.
Who can give a root word that prefix “im-“can be
attach?
Mico:
im+mortal=immortal
Very good! What else?

James:
im+balance=imbalance

Awesome! Let’s proceed to the next prefix which

is “dis-“ and it’s meaning is the same to prefix ‘’un-‘’
and ‘’im-‘’.
Ian: not

Yes. Let’s take 2 examples and let’s use it in a

sentence. Here’s the 2 examples, dislikes and
disagreed. First, let’s take dislikes. What is the
root word?
Bobby: likes

Very good! Mark dislikes the dress of his sister.

This means that?

Alfred: Mark did not like

the dress of his sister.

Exactly! Second example, Bryan disagreed Mark’s plan.

We used the word disagreed, what is the root word?
 Daniel: Agreed.
Very good! So, what is the message of the sentence?

Sherwin: Bryan opposed

Mark’s plan.

Yes! Here are some examples of words containing

prefix ‘’dis-‘’,dishonest, distrust, disloyal, disgrace,
disconnect, disappoint. Who can give a root word
that prefix “dis-‘’ can be attach?
Juan:
dis+charge=discharge

Very good! What else?

Juanito:
dis+obey=disobey

Awesome! Now, let’s proceed to the last prefix.

The meaning of this prefix is different from the 3
prefixes that we discussed a while ago. This prefix
means ‘’again’’ and this prefix is no other than “re”.
Here are the examples, rejoins and rebuilds. To
understand it better let’s use them in a sentence.
Let’s take first rejoins. What is the root word?

Carl: join
Very good! Bryan rejoins with the basketball
dunk competition. The sentence emphasize
that Bryan?

Malone: Joins the dunk

compitation again.

Correct! Second example, Bobby the builder

rebuilds his house. We used the word rebuilds,
what is the root word?

Erica: builds

So, what is the sentence all about?

 Jenephine: Bobby repairs
his house again.

Exactly! Here are some examples of words containing

prefix ‘’re-“,remarry, rebuild, reappear, reconsider,
rejoin, return, rewrite, rearrange, regroup, retake.
Who can give a root word that prefix “re” can be attach?

Andrea:
re+open=reopen

Very good! What else?

Eunico: re+told=retold
Very good!

7. Generalization

What is a prefix again?

Sherwin: Is a word part
added to the beginning
of a root word.

Very good! What are the prefixes that we discussed?

Eunico: ‘’un-‘’, ‘’im-‘’,

‘’dis-’’ and ‘’re-’’.

Very good! What will happen to a root word

in the presence of prefix?
Jenephine: The meaning
will be change.

Very good! What are the prefixes which have the

same meaning?
Erica: un-, im-, and dis-

Very good! What is the meaning of prefix ‘’re-‘’?

Maron: again

Exactly!

8. Application / Valuing

Why do we need to study prefixes?

Jenephine: We need to
study prefixes to
 understand unfamiliar
words.
Great idea! Who has another idea?
Joshua: It is important to
study prefixes for it
helps us to understand
unfamiliar words.

Very good! We need to study prefixes, because

it helps us to understand unfamiliar words, like
the text that we read a while ago. Also, prefixes
helps us to establish a good communication,
because we can understand unfamiliar words
through structural analysis using basic prefixes.
