start, I have here examples of sentences
and I want you to identify the meaning of
the underlined word without using any
dictionary. Okay?
 The long hike up to the top of the
mountain was extremely

What do you think is the meaning of the

How about in the second sentence, is “long hike up to top of the

about the meaning?

So, in decoding or getting the meaning of

the word, you need to look for clues in
the sentence that will give you a hint
about the meaning. The examples I have
given earlier has something to do with
the topic we are going to discuss.
B. Establishing a To start the discussion, let us read first At the end of the lesson the
purpose for the the objectives that we need to achieve students will be able to:

tranquil lake.
What are the unfamiliar words to you in
these sentences?
Okay, as we go on with our topic, we are
about to find out how to figure out the

H. Discuss new concepts In relation to the examples given earlier,
and practicing new our topic is all about “Context Clues”
skills #1 Context clues are hints that the author
gives to help define a difficult or unusual
word.
There are four common kinds of context
clues.
Synonym – word with the same meaning,
is used in the sentence.
Ex:
1. My opponent’s argument is fallacious,
misleading – plain wrong.
2. Bill felt remorse, or shame for his harsh
words.

What is the unusual word here?

And what is its synonym based from the
sentence? Fallacious
That's right. How about in the second
example? what is the unfamiliar word? The synonym of fallacious is
misleading.
Now the word “or” is a clue to let you
know that the word after the “or” means
something very close to the word we are
trying to figure out the meaning of. Remorse, ma’am.

Here you will easily grasp the meaning

because of its synonym.
Antonym – a word or group of words that
has the opposite meaning reveals the
 meaning of an unknown word.
Ex:
1. Our sweltering summer days were
quickly replaced by the cold flashes of
fall.
2. The painting of the landscape is
picturesque, while the one of the old
house is just plain ugly.
On the first example, the unfamiliar word
