Example: Students read an excerpt from "The Iroquois Constitution," translated by Arthur C. Parker. As they read, they note all words ending in the Latin suffix -ion on the left side of the graph. On the right side of the graph, they note the word' s context and speculate about the word's meaning and part of speech.

Previously Published Data

1.) Give students a list of verbs that may be turned into nouns by adding the suffix -ion, such as imagine, consider, dispose, constitute, assume, etc. Students may do this individually or in pairs, depending upon the number of words. Dictionaries may be used to check spelling. Once the word is changed to a noun, have students write sentences using the new word correctly and explain the significance of the -ion ending in the given words.


2.) An assessment over time should require students to make generalizations about the studied vocabulary words, in terms of root words, prefixes, and suffixes, and the relationship of word origin meanings to present-day usage of words.
