List any word parts that you are familiar with already, and write a short definition in your own words. Then, using any of the ones you have defined in addition to the word parts in this chapter, make up a series of words combining prefixes, roots and suffixes to make up new words. Write a sentence using this word so that it appears in context. Try to make up at least three new words, but aim for more if you can. See if your teacher and classmates can get a general idea of what your new word means.
Example: mal + port + ment
This word might be to carry something badly; maybe another way to talk about bad posture.
"After years of malportment, the old woman's back was permanently stooped."
