Step 1 Presenting
What international charities do you know about?
What do they do?
Have you heard of ORBIS?
ORBIS helps blind people in poor countries. The state of being blind is called blindness. Why does ORBIS help the blind patients? Because blindness affects many people around the world, mostly in poor countries. But most of the cases of blindness can be prevented or cured. Why don’t the blind go to see doctors? Because they are so poor that they can’t pay for medical treatment. ORBIS doctors treat them for free. They operate on/do (perform) operations on their patients. So the patients are thankful /grateful to them. How do you think ORBIS doctors feel when they help people? (They feel proud.)

Period 4 Vocabulary
(Suffixes ‘-ment’, ‘-ness’ and’-ion’)
Teaching goals
● To develop an understanding of suffixes
● To use proper verbs and adjectives in context
Teaching procedures
Step 1 Having a revision
To begin with, answer my questions about Reading:
What kind of people go to ORBIS for help? (Blind and poor people.)
Can most cases of blindness be cured or prevented? (Yes.)
What do ORBIS doctors do? (They treat many patients.)
Do the patients need to pay for the treatment? (No.)
How do ORBIS doctors treat them? (They operate on them.=They perform operations on them.)
What is the relationship between “blind” and blindness, “treat” and “treatment”, “operate” and “operation”?
We can form nouns by adding suffixes ‘-ment’, ‘-ness’, or ‘-ion’ to some verbs and adjectives. Sometimes we need to change the ending of the verb or adjective before we add the suffix.
happy-y+i+ness=happiness
celebrate-e+ion=celebration
invite-e+ation=invitation
What is a suffix?
A suffix is a word ending. It is a group of letters you can add to the end of a root word*
e.g. walking, helpful
*A root word stands on its own as a word, but you can make new words from it by adding beginnings (prefixes) and endings (suffixes).
For example, 'comfort' is a root word. By adding the prefix 'dis' and the suffix 'able' you can make new words such as 'discomfort' and 'comfortable'.
Adding suffixes to words can change or add to their meaning, but most importantly they show how a word will be used in a sentence and what part of speech (e.g. noun, verb, adjective) the word belongs to. e.g. If you want to use the root word 'talk' in the following sentence:
I was (talk) to Samina.
You need to add the suffix 'ing' so that the word 'talk' makes better sense grammatically:
"I was talking to Samina".
There are various suffixes we use. Probably the most common are 'ed' and 'ing'.
Here are some other suffixes and examples.
Step 2 Finishing off Part A
Go to page 82 to help Daniel to change verbs and adjectives into nouns, checking the answers with your partner. Think of more examples if you can.
Step 3 Finishing off Part B
Fill in the blanks in Part B on page 82. Then read the e-mail aloud.
