  4. Words with multiple meanings are words that have several meanings depending upon how they are used in a sentence. We use CONTEXT CLUES to help us figure out which meaning is correct.

You are going to read the sentence, and identify the meaning of the underlined word. Then, choose the sentence that uses that word in the SAME way.

  15. Would you say that these people are all ‘walking’?

  16. THE BIG IDEA • Shades of Meaning is a phrase used to describe the small, subtle differences in meaning between similar words or phrases. • For example, ‘mad’ and ‘angry’. Both refer to a feeling or showing of anger, but one seems to be more so than the other.

  17. Which one would you say is…? The kid MAD The youth ANGRY

  18. THE BIG IDEA cont’d.-copy in your notes • Connotation is the attitudes and feelings associated with a word. These associations can be negative or positive, and have an important influence on style and meaning. • Denotation is the literal or dictionary definition of a word. Denotation contrasts with connotation.

  19. Write the following sentences in your notebook! Take a minute and write two sentences using the following words: -old and ancient -try and struggle OR -chat and discuss When you are finished, share your sentences with a partner. Identify what the words denote and what they connote.

  20. THE BIG IDEA cont’d. • You are learning to understand the similarity and difference between words that have similar meanings • You are also learning to explain those similarities and differences. • The differences may be in • the negative or positive meanings of the words or • the intensity, or degree, of the meanings • The similarities will be in the basic definition of the word

  21. HERE’S HOW TO DO IT-for questions on the Benchmark: • Read the sentence. • Use context clues to determine the denotation, basic meaning, of the word being used in the sentence. • Determine the answer to the question by: • Circling the words in the sentence that help explain the meaning of the word

  22. Let’s try some examples…

  23. Whiteboard Game~ • Remember: When I Say Go… • You have one minute to quietly take out a whiteboard and dry erase marker • Sit in professional posture and wait for directions

  25. 2. “His playing was effortless, and the sounds were as smooth as Mark said they would be, as smooth as silk.”Which image or connotation does the use of smooth in these lines give the reader? • something flat and dull • something soft and shiny • something light and loose • something clear and refined

  26. 3. "Sometimes the sticks got lost during a race, and people have found them many years later." Which of the following has the same relationship as the underlined words? • destroy and ruin • defeat and unravel • vanish and recover • confuse and bewilder

  27. What To Remember: • Words with multiple meanings and words with shades of meaning both require that you carefully read the sentences and look for context clues • Try to understand what the sentence is trying to say • If you use this strategy you will be able to answer the questions correctly!

  28. Homework!! • Write 5 sentences using words with multiple meanings • The first sentence should be written with one meaning and the second sentence should be written with a different meaning See example… ------
