A. REVIEW:
What was our lesson yesterday?

Engage the pupils to join a simple contest

The contest about giving words that will describe some objects.
Objects: ball (round,circle)
Pebbles (small, tiny)
Elephant (big, huge)
Flowers (fragrant, sweet)
 Indicator 2. Enhancing literacy. Let us read the following short sentences.
1. There are tiny pebbles in the garden.
2. An elephant is a big animal.
3. The sampaguita flower smells fragrant.

This time, replace the underlined words with the following words.
1. Small
2. Huge
3. Sweet

Indicator 3 and 6 – Developing critical thinking and differentiated experiences.

Now, I want you to read and observe the following words posted on the wall.
Round and circle small and tiny big and huge fragrant and sweet

Now, try replacing the underlined words with the following.

1. Big
2. Small
3. Foul

Read the following words: tiny – big big – small fragrant – foul

B. DISCUSSION:
Words like:
Round and circle small and tiny big and huge fragrant and sweet have the
same meaning. These are called synonyms.

When we use these words, the meaning of the sentence is changed. These words mean the
opposite of the underlined words. They are called antonyms.
tiny – big big – small fragrant – foul

Here are some examples of synonyms and antonyms:

Synonyms:
1. Cold – freezing
2. Large – big
3. Trash – garbage
4. Shout – yell
5. Speak – talk
Antonyms:
1. Young – old
2. Day – night
3. Near – far
4. Dry – wet
5. Long - short

A book called a thesaurus supplies the synonyms and antonyms of words. (Show one)

 A thesaurus is a book that gives the synonyms and antonyms of a word.

 Aside from synonyms and antonyms, a thesaurus also gives the meaning
and part of speech of a word. It also tells what part of speech a word is.
