Words”
• http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=933256d7d64095e96359
Let’s Get Started!• How many of you can tell me some
words that looks or sounds the same but has different meanings?
• On your mark…….get set…….go!!!!threw too through blue
dueknew see flu cough
Definition• So can anyone recall what these
words are called?.......• Homophones (a.k.a Homonyms)-
One or more words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning, origin and spelling.
List of Homophones• Acts/ax -pause/paws -peace/piece• Flea/flee -forth/fourth -ate/eight• Gene/jean -knew/new -be/bee• -Read/red -rose/rows -Knight/night• Sun/son -tail/tale
Problems• One of the problems with the English
language is “pronunciation” (the sound of a word) &……….
• Can anyone guess what else?????Come on now
someone………….anyone……“SPELLING” is correct! This is because what you see in English is
not necessarily what you say so BE VERY CAREFUL!!!
Example of Problem• For example:The “two” and “too” sound alike but
have very different meanings. One indicates a number and the other means also; excessive; or extremely
Some other examples would be: “see” and “sea” “bear” and “bare” “flew” and “flu” “no” and know”
Helpful Information!!!!• Other things you should know is that words in
the English language sometimes don’t look the way they sound…..SO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION every word you encounter!!!
• Does anyone know of any examples of this rule???
Examples: though, cough, tough, through, Can someone tell me a pattern you
noticed?
More Information!
• Most of these words end in “ough” & that is a big hint.
But what about the words like “know”, “knew”, “knife”, “knock”, and “knee”?
Yes…..they begin with a “kn” but sounds like they should begin with the letter “n” so where is the “k” sound
at………IT’S SILENT!!!
Josie Whitehead
• A poet writing for both young and old, but especially for students of all ages.
• Has published over 600 new poems.
• Writes poems that teachers all over the world use to help them teach lessons.
Fun Time! (Activity Introduction)
• I started by handing each student a piece of paper turned over at the beginning of our lesson. It is a very fun poem by Josie Whitehead called “What You See Is Not What You Say.”
Fun Time (Instructions)• I would like everyone to turn it
over and begin reading silently just once.
• Now that everyone is done reading it I will choose one person/per verse to read it aloud.
Cont’d Instructions• After every verse I will call out a few
words that might look or sound like another word. You will write whatever it is that you hear down on the paper. And at the end you will have a chance to check the spelling of the word.
• But LISTEN CLOSE…..whom ever gets the greatest amount of words spelled correct will get………………………………………………
Incentive for Students• LUNCH of your choice on ME!!!
Friday • BUT there is a catch you guys must
listen very closely to the poem and use the context clues( previously taught lesson) throughout it in order to spell the words correct.
• ANY QUESTIONS?????????
Availability
• WAIT there’s one more thing…….I will be available BEFORE and AFTER class this entire week for anyone that needs extra help!!!
