OBJECTIVE: Get the meaning of words through word association
(analogy)(EN4V-IIIh-39)
YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:
• Get the meaning of words through word association (analogy)
• Analogy is a comparison of two things that may have similar or opposite
characteristics or features

Example
Gift is to Christmas Day as red rose is to Valentine’s Day.
Trumpet is to New Year’s Day as carol is to Christmas.

TRY TO DISCOVER
A. What is your favorite holiday of the year? Let’s recite the poem and
enjoy the months of the year.
Months of the Year
January marks the start of the year
New Year is greeted with blasting firecrackers.
February is for St. Valentine
For friends and lovers…love so fine

March brings excitement of medals and honors

For a well-deserved achievement in school.
April summer is for fun and adventure
Vacation trips are bucket list favors.

May for flowers that bloom all around

Like beautiful ladies in Santacruzan
June opens the door for school learners
School bags and uniforms are placed in order.

July rain makes the grasses grow

Busy farmers start to sow.
August storms and strong winds blow
Warning and signals flash on TV and radio.

September greets with a holiday song

Of that wonderful music we sing along
October comes with semestral break
Hurry up and pass all school projects.

November remembers our dearest loved ones

All Saint’s Day and Halloween with costumes or none.
December has the loudest cheer
Let’s all be glad…Christmas is in the air!

OBJECTIVE: Use context clues (synonyms) to find meaning of unfamiliar

words (EN4V-Ib-13.1)

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:

Use context clues (synonyms) to find meaning of unfamiliar words
Synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning.

TRY TO DISCOVER
A. Let’s read a poem and enjoy every line of it. Then answer some questions
about it.
Synonyms
Use synonyms they say,
It smartens what you write.
Use synonyms they say,
Your teachers will delight!
Instead of walk, use plod or amble,
Instead of jump, bound, skip, gambol.
Instead of run, use gallop, or race, Dash,
dart, sprint,
Hurtle, chase!
Don’t use said, use replied, repeat, Grumbled,
muttered, groaned and bleat. And instead of
carry, use hoist, drag, haul,
And don’t use shout, use scream, wail, bawl!
And crime of all,
Do not use “nice”,
You need to follow this advice: It’s
agreeable, it’s pleasant, It’s dainty,
it’s bright,
It’s fantastic, it’s awesome,
Respectable, polite!

So;
Walk, plod, amble are synonyms
Jump bound, skip, gambol are synonyms
Because they have the same or nearly the same meanings.
