1. Welcome to CAHSEE Boot Camp- Week 1 Making meaning of words

2. Do-Now Week 1 (In your notebook) • How many ELA questions are on the CAHSEE? • Explain the terms prefix and suffix in your own words. • What is one test-taking method you will use to figure out the meaning of words you don’t know?

5. WORD ANALYSIS ON THE CAHSEE • These are the 2 CAHSEE Word Analysis Standards. • The CAHSEE uses 7 multiple-choice questions to measure these standards. There is no magic list of words that will appear on the test, so this section of the Study Guide discusses some of the strategies that can help you succeed.

6. WORD ANALYSIS ON THE CAHSEE • You will be asked to explain what a particular word or phrase means. The CAHSEE measures your understanding of both denotation(the dictionary definition) and connotation(the image or feeling that a word or phrase suggests to readers). • For example, house and home have the same denotation: both describe a place of shelter. However, their connotations are quite different. House makes most readers think of particular buildings where people live; home suggests warmth, comfort, and safety

7. Another example of Connotation and Denotation • For example, if you look up the word snake in a dictionary, you will discover that one of its denotative meanings is "any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes venomous reptiles¡Khaving a long, tapering, cylindrical body and found in most tropical and temperate regions.” • The connotations for the word snake could include evil or danger

8. Word Analysis • If you are not already familiar with a word or phrase in a test question, you will need to apply skills and strategies such as gathering meaning from context or using your knowledge of word origins, roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

9. PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND ROOT WORDS • Prefix-a word part that canbe added to the beginning of a word to make a new word. (dis) • Root Word-the word that’s left over when prefixes and suffixes have been removed. (infect) • Suffix-a word part that can be added to the end of a word to make a new word. (ant) • Dis-infect-ant=Disinfectant

10. COMMON PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES • PREFIXES SUFFIXES • Re= back, again * able ible= able to • Sub= under * fy= to make • Un= not * ism= the practice of • Trans= across, *less= without, lacking beyond * semi= half, partly* ness= quality of

11. What do all these words have in common? Disappear Disable Disagree Disproof Dislike Disembark Disbelieve Disallow

13. What does the prefix mean? • Disappear - not visible • Disagree - not agree, dispute • Dislike - not like, not agreeable • Disbelieve - not believe, not accept as true

17. HOW WILL THIS HELP YOU ON THE CAHSEE? • Word analysis skills are very important for the CAHSEE because they will help you decode the meaning and context of words within reading passages and also in the questions you are being asked
