B. Lesson Proper:
1. Presentation :
Our topic for today, is about
synonyms, antonyms and
homonyms. Are you familiar with
these ? Maybe some of you are.

We will first tackle synonyms.

2. Discussion :
Nervous-excited,ordinary-
common,tribute-honor,source-
origin,happy-glad,hurt-
pain,faith-belief

These words are examples of The words are the same.

synonyms. What can you say
about synonyms ?

What are synonyms ? Synonyms

are different words that have the
same meaning. They are
different words but if you look at
the dictionary they have the
same meaning.

Can you give me more examples Big-giant,small-tiny, woman-lady

of synonyms that you know ?

Why do we use synonyms ?

There are two reasons why.
1. Synonyms help create the
mood of your sentence
according to who you are
writing for or what kind of
image you want to portray.
For example, “ That is a nice
car. “, but you could write, “
That’s an elegant
automobile. “ if your
audience would respond
more to the image the
sentence creates.

Please read the second one. 2. Synonyms help to avoid

repetition. You can use
synonyms of a word when
you have to write it twice in
For example,” The children a sentence.
are singing, they’re really
great children.” It sounds
boring and repetitive. But if
you change children to kids it
will be better.

Can someone change the “ The children are singing, they’re really
second children on the great kids.”
sentence to kids? Yes.

After knowing what

synonyms are, let’s have an
activity.

On the right side of the board

are words, find their
synonym on the left side.

Illness -____________ Illness - sickness

Intelligent -_________ Intelligent - smart
Pupil -_____________ Pupil - student
Purchase -__________ Purchase - buy
Glimpse -__________ Glimpse - peek
Grasp -____________ Grasp - grab
Weird -____________ Weird - strange
Wreck -____________ Wreck - destroy
Youth -____________ Youth - childhood
Famous- __________ Famous – well-known

Now that you totally

understood what synonyms
are, let’s now go to antonyms.
If synonyms are different
words but have the same
meaning, antonyms are
words that means the
opposite of another word.

For example, happy-sad, far-

near, run-walk, day-night,
wet-dry, girl- boy, open-close.

It’s easy right? Who can give Long-short, fast-slow,same-different

me more examples?
Okay then, let’s have an
activity regarding antonyms.

Underline the word that is

the opposite of the word.

1. Rich ( strong, poor, tall)

2. Sister (brother, house, me)
3. Stand (hop, sit, run)
4. Old (fun, little, young)
5. Weak (day, strong, year)
6. Night (month, hat, day)
7. Buy (broke, sell, present)
8. Push (pull, shove, take)
9. Run (try, stir, walk)
10. Nothing (all, time, best)

It’s easy right? The last one

we will discuss is about
homonyms.

Read what is homonyms.  Words that have the same spelling

and same pronunciation.
For example is ”stalk”
meaning to harass and
“stalk” meaning the body of
plants.  Words that have different spelling
and same pronunciation.

For example, “meet” as in to

be introduce to someone and
“meat” as in the food that you
eat.

Other examples are :

Wake – to come back to a
conscious state after
sleeping.
Wake – to hold a vigil over a
dead body.
Sea – great body of water
See – to perceive with the eye
Right – direction
Write – to put words, letter,
etc.

Let’s have another activity.

Choose a word from the
magic chart to complete each
sentence.
