Description

This resource explores the prefix 'auto-', which means 'self' or 'by itself.' It originates from Greek and is used to form words that involve self-action or automation. The document includes examples such as 'autobiography' (a story of a person's life written by that person) and 'automatic' (a machine functioning by itself). Activities include coloring the prefix in various 'auto-' words, building new words by combining the prefix with root words, and reflecting on the meaning these words convey. It encourages creativity by asking learners to use new vocabulary in sentences and analyze word meanings.
