D. Discussing new concepts and practicing ANALYSIS
new skills #1 Meaningful Search
Analects are literary extracts or selected passages from literary or
philosophical works especially from a published collection. They
share a lot of qualities with other meaningful pieces of writing, so
expect to find words which are rich in meaning.

 Look for difficult words from the selection.

  List all of them, and give their denotative (specific,
dictionary) meaning.
 Give also the connotative (suggested idea and feelings or
overtone) meaning for each word.
 Remember that Connotative meaning is very important in
persuasive writing. Connotation or shades of meaning can
be positive or negative. Choose at least five words in the
selection which have strong connotation.

new skills #2 The teacher will explain the differences of denotation and
connotation meaning of words.

Connotation and Denotation are two principal methods of

describing the meanings of words. Connotation refers to the wide
array of positive and negative associations that most words
naturally carry with them, whereas denotation is the precise, literal
definition of a word that might be found in a dictionary.
