Students can express their ideas in the most expressive ways possible with
the help of their vocabulary. Words are what ignites our imagination.
However, vocabulary isn't just about learning more words; it's also about
expanding our language's range of meanings. Knowing the appropriate words
to use in the appropriate contexts and in the appropriate form is also
important.
I chose the topic of synonyms and antonyms because they are essential for
expanding one's vocabulary and provide a number of alternatives for a given
word. Synonyms and antonyms also add interest and effectiveness to
language. A person who can substitute several words for one will most likely
have a large vocabulary. A person's vocabulary is a collection of words. A
person can only learn so many new words in their lifetime, but they can
expand their vocabulary by learning the synonyms and antonyms of the words
they already know.
In this engaging module the students will be able to improve their vocabulary
by learning synonyms and antonyms together. They will be able to
demonstrate understanding of words by relating them to their opposites
(antonyms) and to words with similar but not identical meanings (synonyms).
To make their writing more interesting, students can test and decide on the
appropriate use of synonyms and antonyms.
