Guessing Game

I am like a book. I have many words and I give their meanings. The words are written alphabetically. Who am I?

​

Let’s expound our knowledge.

• A dictionary, sometimes known as a wordbook, is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, often arranged alphabetically (or by radical and stroke for ideographic languages), which may include information on definitions, usage, etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, translation, etc. or a book of words.

A  thesaurus is a reference work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which provides definitions for words, and generally lists them in alphabetical order.

​

Let’s explore.

Define the following words using the dictionary:

1. bother
2. insure
3. sophomore
4. yawn
5. infect

​

Let’s explore.

Give the synonyms of the following words:

1. cadaver
2. abode
3. ethics
4. retrieve
5. perimeter

Let’s enrich our knowledge and skills.

​

Look for the meaning of the underlined words using the dictionary.

1. I spread butter on my bread.
2. The decision was so abrupt that the people were surprised.
3. Do not insult somebody.
4. I will mix the ingredients now.
5. Shake your body when dancing.

�Concept Development:�

​

Two of the most common reference materials are the dictionary and thesaurus.

A Dictionary contains alphabetical lists of words that includes the meaning, etymology and pronunciation while the thesaurus is a book that contains synonyms and even antonyms.

​

Let’s apply what we have learned.

Put a check mark on the blank line if the reference provides the information given; leave it blank if it does not.

​

​

Let’s evaluate.

Using a dictionary or a thesaurus, define the words below then write a sentence.

​

1. decade
2. rush
3. cross
4. admit
5. interest
