Each set of chips contains two word roots and two affixes that can be combined into four different words. For example, the prefixes im- and sup- might be written on the two sides of one poker chip, and the roots pose and press on the other chip.

8 Assessment of Objective: The student will be able to complete the Flip A Chip exercises when given random words. Resources: Reflection: The lesson was very successful. The working time with our after reading activities took up the bulk of our time. Being able to make marks on the paper and make notations was very helpful to the student. He thought the story was weird at first but once he learned the words it all started to make sense to him. He loved the Flip A Chip exercise because it was different and he worked at his own pace. One thing that I love about this website is that you have the option to print certain exercises that they may have struggled with. One of his most challenging exercises dealt with the roots of pose and press. He spent almost 10 minutes on this exercise compared to the others where he breezed through them after about 5-6 minutes. We printed out exercise three and it showed us his version and then the correct version. He made notations and reflections on errors made.
