This document provides examples of mini lessons on vocabulary building using word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. It includes the relevant Common Core Standards and outlines the KUDs (Know, Understand, Do) for each lesson. Sample activities are described where students analyze and define words based on their meaningful parts. Models are given to demonstrate how to determine a word's meaning based on its affixes and roots. Lists of affixes and roots are included for students to use in creating and defining new words. Assessments involve answering teacher questions, writing definitions, and using the words in sentences.
