I created this assignment after demonstrating how adding a suffix to a word can change its meaning. In this case, how adding "Un", "Dis", or "In" can change an adjective into the antonym for the original word. For example:
Expected (Adjective) + Un = Unexpected
Unexpected is the antonym, or opposite word, of "expected", the original word. In this assignment, students learn which adjectives have an antonym beginning with "Un", "Dis", or "In". In order to complete this assignment, they must choose the right suffix for each word.
