Morphemes Greek Roots Activity: 1. Guide students in combining morphemes to make words (orally or in writing). 2. Discuss any changes in spelling or pronunciation that occur when combining morphemes. 3. Discuss what the words mean. 4. Form sentences using the new words (orally or in writing). NOTES: Some matrices allow for words with more than three morphemes (micro+bio+log+ist). Source: Frank, M. (2018).
