2. (用卡片呈现一些词汇加上前缀或后缀后的变化,引出派生构词法并学习。)
T: Boys and girls, we’ve known about changes in the world. Now let’s learn the changes between the words.
(教师事先准备两组卡片,一组上面写有单词,另一组上面写有与单词相对应的前缀或后缀,把两组卡片分别按顺序排好,组合卡片,学习派生构词法。)
Example:
T: What does this word mean (出示卡片like。)
Ss: 喜欢。
T: Right. Look at the change, please!(出示卡片dis,并与like 拼在一起。)
Ss: Dislike. It means“不喜欢”.

如:
(1)否定前缀:un-, im-, dis-, in-等。happy-unhappy, polite-impolite, agree-disagree, direct-indirect(2)re-前缀表示“重复”。write-rewrite(3)动词+-er表示“人”。read-reader, write-writer(4)动词+-ion/-ment/-ness变成名词。act-action, treat-treatment, ill-illness(5)名+-y变成形容词。cloud-cloudy, sun-sunny(6)名词/动词+-ful变成形容词。care-careful, hope-hopeful(7)形容词+-ly变成副词。sad-sadly, strong-strongly

(引导学生用派生法去掌握更多的词汇。)
4. (做游戏,巩固派生构词法,完成3。)
T: Some homeless people are short of food, clothes, houses, and so on. Some words are short of “hats” or “shoes”. Let’s help the words in 3 wear “hats” or “shoes”. Then the words will have some other meanings.
