Unit 3: Adding  the suffix -ous
This week's focus is Unit 3-  Adding  the suffix -ous .
Today we would like you to create  a list of words that use this suffix.
Once you have created the list underline the   root word in each word.
e.g. dangerous   
Words like nervous are slightly different. If the root word ends in an 'e' e.g. nerve,  we drop the 'e before adding 'ous- nervous

Play Telephone Pictionary!
This is a writing game. The game is more fun with a larger number of players.
You will need:​
-   Plain sheets of paper
-  Pencils  for each player
How to play:

• Each player writes a sentence on their sheet and passes the sheet clockwise.
• The players now draw what the previous player has described in a sentence and fold the top of the sheet down so that only their drawing is seen.
• The sheet is passed to the left again.
• The players now write a sentence describing the drawing and fold the sheet such that only their sentence is seen.
• The sheet gets passed around in the same manner until there is no room for writing or drawing on the sheet.
• Open the sheets and compare original sentences with final drawings and have fun laughing at the transformation.
