This learning resource focuses on the transformation of base words into nouns by analyzing the suffixes -tion and -sion. It outlines the morphological patterns related to the correct usage of these suffixes based on the ending of the base words. The document includes clear rules for when to use -tion (for base words ending in 't' or 'te') and -sion (for base words ending in 'd', 'de', 's', or 'ss'). It features examples, a choice board with various activities that allow students to apply what they've learned in engaging ways, and a workspace for practical application of the concepts. Students are guided to identify suffix usage, transform verbs into nouns, and correctly use these nouns in sentences, enhancing their understanding and application of these morphological patterns.
