Focus and Review
review what was taught the other day, synonyms
have them give examples of synonyms- have table groups come up with synonyms, and write them on the board for later use
tell them we are going to learn about the opposite of synonyms, antonyms
Objective
teach students what an antonym is
a word that has a meaning opposite of another
make sure students are able to give examples of antonyms
students should be able to complete given worksheet
Input
give my own examples of what an antonym is
tall and short are opposites therefore they are antonyms
cold and hot
old and young
Guided Practice
together, the students will work in their table groups to come up with antonyms for the synonyms they found in the beginning of class
someone from each group will write their antonyms on the board next to the correct synonym they used
after we go over their examples, i will give examples and have them tell me if they are antonyms or not
hot and warm; tall and short; in and over
at this time, I will walk around to make sure they have no questions, and if they do I will answer them
Independent Practice
individually the students will complete a worksheet on antonyms
this is independent work without my input
after they complete it, we will check to make sure they got the questions correct
I will answer any questions the students have
Closure/ Reflection
closure will be going over the answers to the worksheet and answering any last questions the students have
I will have them each give an example of what they learned today
