B. Lesson Proper: 1. Presentation : Our topic for today, is about synonyms, antonyms and homonyms. Are you familiar with these ? Maybe some of you are. We will first tackle synonyms. 2. Discussion : Nervous-excited,ordinarycommon,tribute-honor,sourceorigin,happy-glad,hurtpain,faith-belief   These words are examples of  synonyms. What can you say  about synonyms ?

 The words are the same.

What are synonyms ? Synonyms are different words that have the same meaning. They are different words but if you look at the dictionary they have the same meaning. Can you give me more examples of synonyms that you know ? Why do we use synonyms ?  There are two reasons why. 1. Synonyms help create the mood of your sentence according to who you are writing for or what kind of  image you want to portray.

Big-giant,small-tiny, woman-lady 

For example, “ That is a nice car. “, but you could write, “  That’s an elegant automobile. “ if your audience would respond more to the image the sentence creates.

Please read the second one.

For example,” The children are singing, they’re really  great children.” It sounds boring and repetitive. But if   you change children to kids it will be better.

Can someone change the second children on the sentence to kids? Yes.

2. Synonyms help to avoid repetition. You can use synonyms of a word when  you have to write it twice in a sentence.

“ The children are singing, they’re really  great kids.”

After knowing what synonyms are, let’s have an activity. On the right side of the board are words, find their synonym on the left side. Illness -____________  Intelligent -_________  Pupil -_____________  Purchase -__________  Glimpse -__________  Grasp -____________  Weird -____________  Wreck -____________  Youth -____________  Famous- __________ 

Illness - sickness Intelligent - smart Pupil - student Purchase - buy  Glimpse - peek Grasp - grab Weird - strange Wreck - destroy  Youth - childhood Famous – well-known

Now that you totally  understood what synonyms are, let’s now go to antonyms. If synonyms are different words but have the same meaning, antonyms are words that means the opposite of another word. For example, happy-sad, farnear, run-walk, day-night, wet-dry, girl- boy, open-close. It’s easy right? Who can give me more examples?

Long-short, fast-slow,same-different

Okay then, let’s have an activity regarding antonyms.

Underline the word that is the opposite of the word. 1. Rich 2. Sister 3. Stand 4. Old 5. Weak 6. Night 7. Buy  8. Push 9. Run 10.Nothing

( strong, poor, tall) (brother, house, me) (hop, sit, run) (fun, little, young) (day, strong, year) (month, hat, day) (broke, sell, present) (pull, shove, take) (try, stir, walk) (all, time, best)

It’s easy right? The last one we will discuss is about homonyms.

Read what is homonyms.



Words that have the same spelling and same pronunciation.

For example is ”stalk” meaning to harass and “stalk” meaning the body of  plants.



Words that have different spelling and same pronunciation.

For example, “meet” as in to be introduce to someone and “meat” as in the food that you eat.

Other examples are : Wake – to come back to a conscious state after sleeping. Wake – to hold a vigil over a dead body. Sea – great body of water See – to perceive with the eye Right – direction Write – to put words, letter, etc. Let’s have another activity. Choose a word from the magic chart to complete each sentence.

3. Generalization : Now that we’ve finished all these three. May I ask what are antonyms ? Give examples.

Antonyms are words with opposite of  another word. For example are roughsmooth, big-small and increase-decrease.

How about synonyms ? Give also examples.

Synonyms are different words with the same meaning, For example are tardylate, neat-tidy and beautiful-pretty.

What are homonyms ?
