Teaching Package on the -Less Suffix
60 sats \ 2 comments \ @cryotosensei 13 Mar ideasfromtheedge
I tried to:
  • use the words they have come across in Year 1 (e.g. hopeless in Year 1 Unit 1) and words they will come across in Year 3 (e.g. endless, speechless)
  • use the -less words as collocations (e.g. endless possibilities)
  • draw a link between in-/im- prefixes and the -less suffix
  • draw a link to their Primary School Leaving Examination Science days. I used to spend a lot of time on the concept of friction. Frictionless could be a word to stretch the higher progress students.

Nice! I like the last, frictionless example.
Just a quick note, in one of the sides, you use powerless to define helpless. Not sure if it was intentional, but might be fun to add powerless right before

Thank you for your critical eye! I feel my effort is validated haha.
Great suggestion. It will necessitate my students to explain powerless straight after they learn it. I can already visualise their confused looks haha
