BY following along with the lesson and contributing to the discussion SO THAT I understand the rules of inflectional endings to words that end in -y Success Criteria for Today Exit Ticket: Write "Decay" and "Carry" on the board Have students give both of these words the endings "ing", "s", and "ed" Long Term Assessment Word Study Quiz on Friday, Nov 10. Vocabulary decaying, decayed, decays, surveying, surveyed, surveys, carrying, carried, carries Procedure/Activites 1. Write the words "obey, obeyed, obeys, and obeying" on the board 1. "obey" is the base word (underline the base word in each) 2. "obey" is a verb; the tense of the verb changes when you add inflected endings 3. "obey" is a vowel + y word; you not take away the y when you give it an inflectional ending 2. Write the word "reply" on the board 1. how do we add the "ing" ending to this word? (replying) 2. "reply" is a consonant + y word; how do we add an 's' ending to this word? (replies) 3. "reply" is a consonant + y word; how do we add an "ed" ending to this word? (replied) 3. Look at obey and all of its endings and reply and all of its endings 1. how did the endings change the tense of these words? 4. Write "enjoy" and "study" on the board 1. have one student volunteer to put the "ing", "s", and "ed" endings on "enjoy" 2. have one student volunteer to put the "ing", "s", and "ed" endings on "study" 5.

Write "journey" and "copy" on the board 2. have students work with a partner to write these words with the correct endings in their chart 3. go over answers once everyone is done 6. If there is still time: 1. Write the words "decay" and "survey" on the board 2. how do I put each ending on these two words following our -y rules? 1. decay, decays, decaying, decayed 2. survey, surveys, surveying, surveyed 3. these words have a vowel + y, so the word does not change when you add the inflectional ending 3. Write the word "carry" on the board 4. how do I put each ending on this word following our -y rules? 1. carry, carries, carrying, carried 2. this word has a consonant + y, so the word does change when you add the inflectional ending (drop the y and make it an i) except for the -ing ending because the -ing ending never changes the word 5.
