I have to do a presentation about word parts- suffixes and prefixes- academic one- help!

There are a few things you could note about prefixes,
roots and suffixes to make a stellar power point for your
assignment.

First of all I would do a search on this
website's documents just in case a teacher has already put something together that you
might be able to gather ideas from, of course ultimately creating your own. Likewise, in
the documents section, you might note that teachers have made handouts on word parts.
They might be of value.

A few of the things I point out
when teaching word parts include
these:

• prefixes and suffixes both change
  meaning


• only suffixes change part of
  speech


• prefixes and suffixes are usually English language
  derived; roots are often from Latin/Greek

If
you are doing a presentation that requires some action, you might consider a slide with
a list of prefixes, roots and suffixes (without meanings). Have your audience make up
crazy words.

On the next slide, provide definitions of the
word parts and create meaning of the crazy words they
made.

Good Luck!
