Day 2

Lesson 1 ANALOGY

What I Need to Know

After going through the process of discovery with the learning tasks, you are
expected to:
1. recognize analogies in a given set of words; and
2. express the importance of studying word relationships in analogies.

What’s In
Directions: Look at these pictures.

::

A B

How is each picture related to each other?

face: body: monitor: ___________________

What’s New
4
 Analogy is a pair of terms that has common relationship. Usually, you will not
only determine the common relationship between each pair but you will also identify
which term makes up each pair. In other words, analogy is word relationships.
(A) (B)
Example: face: body: : monitor: computer
(Face and body are related since the face is part of the body in the same manner
as monitor and computer are related since the monitor is part of a computer.)

Analogy is used by writers to connect unfamiliar words or new ideas with

common and familiar objects. Through analogies, the reader analyzes a pair of terms
by examining its similarities and differences and figures out the connection between
them.
Common Types of Analogy
Type Meaning Examples
1. Synonyms The words have the same meaning. Small: tiny : : wide: large
2. Antonyms The words have opposite Light: dark : humble: proud
meanings.
3. Part to whole A word is part of the other word. finger: hand :: petal: flower
4. Cause and effect One word is the result of the other Fire: smoke: : explosion: loud
word. noise
5. Person to place/ One word is the workplace or Author: write: : gardener: plant
role/ specialization function of the other word.

For young readers like you, analogy is important in building your vocabulary
skills and developing critical thinking. How do analogies work? Through analogies,
learners will be able to develop a deep understanding of words by discovering meaningful
relationships. When they form logical connections between words, they form a “mental
network of ideas”; thus, comprehension is enhanced and retention is increased.

Day 3

Analogy -Synonyms, Antonyms,

Lesson 2
and Part to Whole

What I Need to Know

After going through the process of discovery with the learning tasks, you are
expected to:

1.determine the relationship of a given set of words, and

2. supply an appropriate word to complete an analogy.

What’s In

huge

big large

gigantic

What does the diagram show?

How are the words related to each other?
The diagram shows words having almost the same meaning. These words are
called synonyms.

What’s New

6
 Synonyms are considered a type of analogy. This analogy involves sets of words
that mean the same thing, such as huge is similar to large and gigantic. On the other
hand, an analogy with antonyms uses a set of words having opposite meanings, such
as hot and cold or day and night. Part to whole analogy involves a set of words in
which a part of something is compared to the whole in a way similar to another part of
something is compared to the whole.
Type of Analogy Examples Explanation
1. Synonym Happy: joyful: : start: begin Happy and joyful have the
same meaning, as start and
begin, so they are synonyms.
2.Antonym Old: young: : far: near Old and young are opposites
as far and near. These words
are antonyms.
3. Part to whole Branch: tree: : wheel: car The branch is part of the tree
in the same manner as the
wheel is part of a car. The
relationship in this set of
words is Part to whole.

What I Can Do
Directions: Choose an appropriate word to complete the analogy.
1. Brief is to short as tough is to____________
curved hard long wide
2. Raw is to cooked as smooth is to: ________________
clean neat rough tender
3. Rich is to ____________ as barren is to unproductive.
big famous great wealthy

5. Fingers are to hands as toes are to ___________.

lesson.
An analogy with synonyms uses______________________________, while analogy
showing antonyms involves ___________________________________________. Part to whole
is an analogy________________________________.

Directions: Write three (3) synonyms, antonyms and part to whole showing analogy.
Examples are provided to you.

Day 4
Analogy- Cause and Effect,
Lesson 3
and Person to Place, Role/Function
What I Need to Know
After going through the process of discovery with the learning tasks, you are
expected to:
1. identify the type of relationship involved in a set of words;
2. complete an analogy with an appropriate word, and
3. write the importance of understanding analogy in words.

What’s In
Study the picture.

What does the picture show?

What will happen if this activity continues?

The picture shows uncontrolled cutting of trees in the forest (cause) which will result
in flooding, landslides and soil erosion (effects). So, there is a cause and effect
relationship.

8
 What’s New
Another common type of analogy is the cause and effect. This analogy contains
one word that is the cause, or the source of some action or condition, and another word
that is the effect, or the result or consequence.
Examples Explanation
1.sleepy: yawn: itching: scratch Yawning is the effect of being sleepy. In the same
way as when you scratch a part of your body, it is
because something itches.
2. movement of tectonic plates: The cause of the earthquake is the movement of
earthquake: : saturated clouds: rain tectonic plates. Earthquakes are the result of
such movement. Rain is the effect of clouds
heavy with water vapor (cause).

Person to place or /role /specialization is another common type of analogy.

This analogy presents words in which one word is the workplace or role/function of the
first word given. To better understand these concepts, study the table below.
Examples Explanation
Zoologist: animals:: botanist: plants Zoologists specialize in animals as botanists
study plants.
saleslady: store: :cook: kitchen Both sets of word pairs show a person to place/
function/role relationship.
