AFFIX PROJECT 100 points
OVERVIEW: Students will use their knowledge of prefixes, root, and suffixes to create new words and explain how current words make use of prefixes, suffixes and roots.
You have THREE choices, create a superhero (or villain), monster (horrific, manga, or pokemon) or write a dictionary.
In each project each new word must be underlined and have
+ at least three word parts i.e. prefix suffix root or prefix root root, or root root suffix, etc.
+ complex (not just root translations) and valid (they are correct part of speech, and make sense given their root and prefix meanings) definitions
