Jeannie, thank you so much for sharing your notes. I want to clarify something. You said, "We talked alot about the Morphemes...
*Irregular & Regular Morphomes
Irregular- teach taught
Regular- talk talked talking talks talk
This list is of regular and irregular VERBS.
The smallest unit of meaning is a morpheme. A word that shows action is a verb.
So, when you take a small unit of meaning and add it onto a verb you can change the MEANING of that verb.
walk - is an action now add a small unit of meaning such as "ed" to that word and it becomes, "walked." It now has a new meaning. It means an action in the past
This is an EXCELLENT example of why we want to see students explain what they gained from class so that we can determine their level of understanding, acknowledge what is correct, clarify anything that needs to be revised and continue building on that knowledge.

THANKS, JEANIE!
Sorry about that.....an oversight on my part.:(
ReplyDeleteI knew those were verbs- I just had morphemes on the brain. My bad!
