Who wrote what The lesson plan above is Dom Jones's, including her choice of this week's power vocabulary. The Chinese, the example sentences and the practice sets below are added by My Culture Connect so the plan can be taught without preparation.

Word Family Factory · one root, fully built

詞族工廠・示範一個字根

For the 35–50 min activity. Build this one on the board first, then hand each team a root. Ask for a sentence with every form — a form they cannot use in a sentence does not count.
搭配 35–50 分鐘的活動。先在白板上把這個字根長完，再發給每組一個字根。每種形式都要造句——造不出句子的形式不算數。

care (v./n.) → I care about my grandmother.
careful (adj.) → Be careful on the stairs.
carefully (adv.) → He carefully opened the box.
careless (adj.) → A careless mistake cost us the game.　(-less = 沒有)
carelessness (n.) → Her carelessness broke the cup.
Team roots: teach · help · use · friend · hope · safe

Suffix detective · the ending tells you the job

字尾偵探・字尾就是職稱

Say each word, students call out noun, adjective or adverb — from the ending alone, without knowing the meaning. That is the whole skill of this week.
唸出每個字，學生只看字尾就喊出名詞、形容詞或副詞——不必知道意思。這就是本週要練的唯一技能。

kindness → ？　　darkness → ？　　(-ness = 名詞)
colorful → ？　　powerful → ？　　(-ful = 形容詞)
slowly → ？　　suddenly → ？　　(-ly = 副詞)
invention → ？　　decision → ？　　(-tion / -sion = 名詞)
unfair → ？　　unlucky → ？　　(un- = 相反)
Harder — one root, all three: active · activity · actively

The trap · Chinese words do not change shape

陷阱・中文的字不會變形

In Chinese, 美 stays 美 whether it is a noun, an adjective or an adverb — the sentence decides. English changes the word itself. This is why students say 'She sings beautiful'. It is not carelessness; the first language simply has no such rule.
中文裡「美」不管當名詞、形容詞還是副詞都是「美」，靠句子決定。英文卻要把字本身改掉。這就是為什麼學生會說 She sings beautiful——不是粗心，母語裡根本沒有這條規則。

她唱得很美。 ✗ She sings beautiful. ✓ She sings beautifully.
他很有創意。 ✗ He is creation. ✓ He is creative.
Your turn — fix this: ✗ The children played happy in the park.
Your turn — fix this: ✗ I felt happiness when I saw my grades.

Exit ticket · and a sign hunt

出場券・順便獵一張告示

The exit ticket first. The sign hunt is Dom's culture connection — English word families are all over Taiwanese campuses and menus once you start looking.
先寫出場券。獵告示是 Dom 指定的文化連結——開始留意之後，會發現台灣校園和菜單上到處都是英文詞族。

Exit ticket: pick one root, write three forms, use one in a sentence.
Sign hunt: photograph one English sign this week and bring the word family.
Starters you will actually find: Recycle / Recycling / Recyclable
Safety / Safe / Safely　·　Entrance / Enter　·　Delicious (menus)

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed. Dom sets three families rather than single words — the point is the shape of the word, not the word. The ending tells you the job: -ness / -tion / -ty make nouns, -ful / -ive make adjectives, -ly makes adverbs, un- flips the meaning.
不必備課。Dom 這週給的是三個詞族而不是三個單字——重點是字的形狀，不是字本身。字尾就是職稱：-ness／-tion／-ty 變名詞，-ful／-ive 變形容詞，-ly 變副詞，un- 把意思翻面。
