ENGLISH 4: QUARTER 4
LESSON 1:
CLUSTERING SYNONYMS:
SYNONYMS: words that have similar meaning but they do not mean exactly the same. The
use of words over and over again is a mark of poor writing.
In speaking or writing, keep the following rule in mind- use words with care. If you do, your
language iis vivid, colorful, and accurate.
CLUTERING SYNONYMS-is a strategy for building word power. It is a brainstorming
technique that tells you not only to record your ideas but also to place them in groups. A
cluster looks something like a wheel. At the hub or center, you write your limited subject.
Each idea or word you think of to develop your subject is connected to the hub like a spoke in
a wheel.
1. Study the examples on your book on pages 240-241 of your skill builder.
2. Answer on challenger activity on pages 242-243 of the skill builder textbook.

LESSON 2: USING ANTONYMS

Antonyms – are words that are opposite in meanings. Antonyms come in handy when you
want to use contrast to focus attention on a particular idea.
Example:
“Optimistic students usually succeed”, said the principal to the incoming students.
Pessimistic ones often fail”.
The principal made two different comparisons. He/she contrasted optimism with pessimism,
and success with failure. Thus, using antonyms in your writing and speaking will help you
convey your meaning effectively and emphatically.

and hand with its point along the elbow. Still supporting the forearm ease the base of the
bandage around the hand, forearm and elbow. Carry the end across the back and over to the
