Morphology Lesson Plans

Morphology Magic
Language Morphology is the study of word formations. Give each student a word. Have him or her research what it can become as an addend to other words—ant, chant, relevant, for example. How can the word within the word act as a clue to the meaning of the new word? Have students present their findings to the class.

Morphology Games
The purpose of this lesson is to raise awareness of morphemes, specifically suffixes. The lesson will help students recognize that suffixes carry meaning, and that they can use this meaning to give them clues about about unknown words that they encounter.

Activities to develop grammar (syntax and morphology)
This site includes a number of classroom activities that can help your students develop their grammar skills, particularly syntax and morphology.

Morphology In Geometry
