3. Word Tree (page 180)
Explain to the students that many words have
different forms. The word collect is one such word.
Send the students back to the text to find four more
words that have the ‘root’ friend in them.
To help them, do the first one together: unfriendly
Curriculum:
AL: Students will compare different
language elements of English, such
as tense and gender to their mother
tongue
Answer key:
Unfriendly
Friendly
Friendlier
Friendship
Appreciation of Language
NOTE: Explain to the students that many words in English have many corresponding forms and they
are all connected in meaning but used differently as they form words that belong to different parts
of speech.
In this case, friend is a noun and it forms unfriendly – a negative adjective / friendly – a positive
adjective / friendlier – a comparative adjective and friendship – a noun.
