MULL OVER ( 5 MINS.

Watch the motivational video, "The Power

of Words". Mull over with the thought:

WHAT MIGHT THE WORLD BE IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS?

KIM: IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, WE WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND ONE

ANOTHER BECAUSE OUR WORDS COULD NOT BE SPOKEN.

SIR LAURENTE: BUT, WORDS ARE SPOKEN RIGHT?

KIM: YES SIR.IT IS SPOKEN. EVEN IF THEY ARE SPOKEN, WE NEED TO USE
THEM WITH POWER AND WITH EMPHASIS TO MAKE UNDERSTANDING
HAPPEN.

PRINCESS: IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, WE WOULD NOT AFFECT

OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. WE WOULD NOT HAVE LOVE, WE WOULD NOT
FEEL HOPE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE JOY.WE WOULD NOT HAVE
ACCEPTANCE.

SIR LAURENTE: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE'S

LIVES?

PRINCESS: THIS MEANS OUR WORDS HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE

EMOTIONS. AND LIKEWISE, IN AFFECTING PEOPLE'S LIVES WITH OUR
WORDS, WE ARE ACCEPTED IN THEIR LIVES.

LYKA:IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, WE WOULD NOT GROW. CHANGE IS

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

SIR LAURENTE: IN WHAT WAY IS GROW?

LYKA: WORDS CAN

IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE THE HEARTS

AND MINDS OF PEOPLE.

IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, WE WOULD NOT PRESERVE OUR

BELIEFS, AND ERRADICATE HATRED.

IF WORDS WERE POWERLESS, THERE WOULD BE NO GROWTH,

INCREASE, ACCEPTANCE.

Process outputs presented.
LET’S ANALYZE THAT!
MR. LAURENTE: WHAT SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES HAVE YOU
OBSERVED WITH THE WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED?
STUDENT 4: I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE WORDS THAT
HAVE TWO OR EVEN MORE MEANINGS.
MR. LAURENTE: UHUH. WHICH WORDS DO YOU MEAN HAVE?
STUDENT 4: NAIL. THE WORD NAIL HAS 3 DIFFERENT MEANINGS.
MR. LAURENTE: ANOTHER INTERESTING OBSERVATION?

WAYS, BUT ARE PRONOUNCED IN THE SAME WAY.
MR. LAURENTE: LIKE WHAT WORDS ?
STUDENT 5: MEET AND MEAT. MEET MEANING A SPORTS
COMPETITION AND MEAT MEANING FLESH OF AN ANIMAL FOR
FOOD
MR. LAURENTE: ALRIGHT.I NEED ONE MORE FINDINGS PLEASE.
ANYONE?

DIFFERENT PRONOUNCING.
MR. LAURENTE: ARE YOU SURE? CAN YOU SHOW YOUR PROOF.
STUDENT 6: PRESENT AND PRESENT SIR. PRESENT IS A NOUN SO
WE STRESS THEM ON FIRST SYLLABLE.PRESENT A VERB IS
STRESSED ON SECOND SYLLABLE.
MR. LAURENTE: VERY GOOD. NOW , DO YOU KNOW CLASS THAT
WE CALL THOSE WORDS YOU HAVE JUST TALKED ABOUT AS
HOMONYMS AND POLYSEMES?
IM SURE YOU CAN VERY WELL REMEMBER OF YOUR HOMONYMS
BACK IN YEARS. CAN'T YOU? SO WHAT ARE HOMONYMS?
STUDENT 7: HOMONYMS ARE HOMONYMOUS WORDS. THEY ARE
WORDS IN PAIR THAT ARE SPELLED THE SAME AND PRONOUNCED
DIFFERENT.
HOMONYMS OR HOMONYMOUS WORDS ARE WORDS THAT HAVE
THE SAME SPELLING HAVING THE SAME PRONUNCIATIONS.
THE WORD “HOMONYM” COMES FROM LATIN “HOMO”
MEANING “ONE” AND “NYM” MEANING “NAME”.
MR. LAURENTE: VERY GOOD. WHAT ABOUT THE POLYSEMES? DO
YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM? OKAY. LET'S GO THROUGH
POLYSEMES AND HOMONYMS THIS TIME.
POLYSEMES OR POLYSEMOUS WORDS ARE WORDS HAVING
MORE THAN ONE MEANING.
THE WORD “POLYSEME” COMES
FROM LATIN “POLY” MEANING “MANY” AND “SEME” MEANING
“SIGNS” OR “MEANINGS”

HOMONYMS. HOMONYMS HAVE HOMOGRAPHS AND
HOMOPHONES.THESE ARE ITS TWO TYPES.
HOMOPHONES ARE HOMONYMOUS WORDS THAT ARE
PRONOUNCED IN THE SAME WAY BUT SPELL DIFFERENTLY.
HOMOGRAPHS ARE HOMONYMOUS WORDS THAT SPELL THE
SAME BUT ARE PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY.
CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES OF HOMOPHONES?
