The word tree
Textbook: Part 3, topic 13, pp. 6–21
GoalMake many words from one word and build a “word tree”.
New words
head · boshchief · boshliqto begin · boshlamoqword tree · so‘z daraxti
Explanation
From one word we can make many new words. We add another word or put a small part at the end. We draw such words like a tree: the main word on the trunk, the made words on the branches. From bosh: boshliq (chief), boshlamoq (to begin), boshpana (shelter), boshqotirma (puzzle). From gul: gulzor (flower garden), gulchi (flower grower), gulli (flowery), atirgul (rose).
Worked examples
gul → gulzor, gulchi, gulli, atirgul
bosh → boshliq, boshlamoq, boshpana, boshqotirma
Class activity
“The tallest tree”: groups draw a tree on big paper. They write a word on the trunk (ish, kitob, tosh) and add words made from it on the branches. The tree with the most branches wins.
