B. Motivation
Before we start with our new lesson for today,

That is great! Today, we are going to play “2

analyze and guess what common word best
corresponds to each set.

And also there are jumbled letter that you are

going to arrange for you to be able to find out

Very good, I think all of you did great in our
activity. Sir, Waste
Alright pass your paper.

Now class, this pictures is somehow connected

to our lesson for today

C. Lesson Proper
Do you think these pictures are the same
because they have the same name?
Why? No, Sir!
Because having the same name doesn’t mean that they
have the same meaning.
Correct! Well said!
Just like in Mathematics
(The teacher will write 2x2=4, 2+2=4 on the
board.)
Look at the examples written on the board. Two
times two is equals to four, two plus two is also
equals to four.
Do we have the same answer? Yes, Sir.
What is that number? Four.
But, did we use the same process or formula? No, Sir.

Now class on our topic for today, which are

homo-words, this words may confuse us with
their structure and meanings, and these are
Homonyms, Homographs and Homophones.

In our topic for today, Homonyms, Homographs

and Homophones are words that may confuse us
because somehow they have similarities in their
structure or form like spellings and sounds.

First, let us define what a homonym is.

__________, will you please read the meaning Homonym is two or more words having the same
of homonym posted on the board? spelling or pronunciation but different meanings.

Going back to our activity earlier, let us

examine the first set of picture.

3
What do they have in common? Sir, they have similar names.
Yes, _______________?

That’s right! And, what is that name? Scale, Sir.

So, both of them are called scale, but are they

the same? No, Sir.

Correct! It doesn’t mean that if they have the

same spelling, they are also of the same kind.
And that’s what homonym is.
They have the same spelling and the same
pronunciation but they differ in meaning

Alright, let’s have another example.  Let’s play soccer after school.
Please read, ______________.  The author wrote a new play.

What do you think are the homonym words in

the given example?
Yes, _________? It’s the word play.

Very good!
What is the meaning of the first word? I think the first word is related with sports or physical
Yes, _________? activity.

That’s great! How about the second one? Sir, it is a drama that is meant to be performed on stage.

Very good!
Do you have any questions about homonyms? None, Sir!

Okay, before we proceed to homographs, let us

have a short activity. It will be a pair work. The
person sitting beside you will be your partner.

I will flash pair of homonyms word in the board

and you need to use that homonyms word
appropriately and correctly.

Answer it on a ¼ sheet of paper.

You only have two minutes to do this task.
Afterwards, I will be calling some of you to
share your answers. 1. Bit: past tense of bite

Okay, this is the number one. Bit: a tiny amount

Whose pair wants to share their answer? (Students will do the activity in pairs.)
Yes, _______ and ___________? (The first pair will read the sentences they had written.)
Excellent!

Now, let us hear from __________ and (The next pair will also read the sentences they had
__________. written.)
Great!
2. Book: A reading material
Let’s proceed to the next number. Book: to make
arrangement or reservation
Alright

Whose pair wants to share their answer? (The pair will read the sentences they had written.)
Yes, _______ and ___________?
Very good!
For those who were not able to read their
answers, just pass your papers forward for (The remaining pairs will pass their papers.)
checking right after the discussion.

Is everything clearly understood about Yes, Sir!

homonyms?

Let us now proceed to the next one, which is

Homograph.

Will you read the definition of homograph, Homographs are words that are spelled alike but differ
__________? in meaning and pronunciation.

Class, what do you think is the difference Sir, in homonyms they both have the same spelling and
between homonyms and homograph? pronunciation but in homograph they only have the
Yes, ___________? same spelling, they don’t have the same pronunciation
and meaning.
Correct!

Let us look again at the second set of picture on

the previous activity. As we can see here, they
are different pictures but again they have
something in common, and what is it?
Yes, _________? Sir, they have the same name, and that is record.

Alright, so record on the first picture is REcord

and the second one is reCORD.

What did you observe? Sir, they differ in pronunciation.

Very good! Let’s have an example.

Please read, __________.  I don’t know if I will live or die.

 Last night I saw the band play live in concert.
So, here in this example, what do you think are
the homographic words?

Yes, ____________? Sir, the words lIve and LaIve.

Very good, so the first homographic word is

pronounced as LIve and the second one is
pronounced as LaIve.

Then, what is the meaning of LIve in the first Sir, it means having a life.
sentence?

That’s great! How about the second one which Sir, it is a real time or actual performance.
is LaIve?

Very good! once again, what did you observe

with the given examples? The words are similar in spelling, but they differ in
Yes, _______? pronunciation and meaning.

Excellent! So that is homograph

Alright, before we proceed to the next homo-
word, let us have another short activity again.

This time, you are going to work in two groups.

This side will be Group 1, and this side is Group
2.
I will be flashing sentences and you need to
identify the pair of homographs word presented
in the sentence, you need to pronounce it
correctly.

The first one to raise their hand will be given the

opportunity to answer if they are correct they
get the point and if not the remaining group will
be given the chance to answer and if they are
correct they will get the point, the group with
the highest points will be the winner.

Do you understand the mechanics class? Yes Sir!

Are you ready, class? Yes, Sir.

____. Let’s give them a round of applause.

Excellent! You were able to identify and

pronounce the words correctly.

Do you have any questions about homograph? None, Sir.

That’s nice to hear. Let us now proceed to the

last homo-word which is homophone.

First, let us define what homophone is. Homophone is one of two or more words that are

__________. spelling.

Let us go back to your activity earlier to further

understand homophone. Take a look again at the
last set of picture. Let us identify what are the
given pictures.

What do we call the first picture? Waste, Sir.
Yes, _______________?

Very good! How about the second one?

Yes, _______________? Waist, Sir.

That is correct! Will you write on the board the

spelling of both words?
Yes, _______________?
(The student will write the spelling of both words.)
That’s great!

meaning.

homographs and homophones? other hand, are spelled similarly but are pronounced
differently and technically have different meanings.
