Morphemic Analysis:
Look at your list of words above. Pick two words in which you originally had an associate meaning of the word. Apply morphemic analysis by using steps a – d for these two words. See example below:
Word: Exocrine
a. underline the root, circle the prefixes and suffixes. Example: Exocrine
b. List words you know that are similar and have a common root. Example: heterocrine, hypercrinia, neurocrina
c. Use the meaning of your chosen word and apply it in a sentence. Make sure the sentence makes sense. Exocrine glands play an integral part of secreting substances out of the body.
d. Reassemble the word and note how you can remember it, write it on your paper. Example: Using the prefix of exo for outside and crine for to secrete, I can put the words together to remember that exocrine will secrete out.
