B. 1. MOTIVATION

You have been using the dictionary for a

long time or maybe some of you here
don’t know what a dictionary looks like.
We may or we may not but we still need to
learn the different importance of using
dictionary in our speaking especially with
our diction. Imagine what will happen if
we are not able to talk but we have to
communicate?
Let us have first an activity.
Directions: Group yourselves into 2 and
select a leader from each group to act as a
messenger. I will give each group a piece
of paper containing a message. What you
are going to do (leader/messenger) is to
relay the message to your fellow members
using your body movement. You can use
your facial expression, face & body
gestures, postures and other body
movement without using your mouth or
without talking. Reminders: Never use
your mouth to convey the message.
 (mouth will be covered with a tape to
avoid coaching and cheating) The first
group to get the message correctly will
receive 5 points.
Understand? Yes ma’am!

Start!

2. PRESENTATION

So, what do you feel during the game? It was exciting and fun.
How did you find it? It is very challenging.
Is it easy to relay information to someone No ma’am.
without talking?
Who says it easy? Who says it’s difficult? Pupils have varying answers.
What do you think is our lesson today? Our lesson for today is about the Importance and Uses od
a Dictionary.
Very good!
Our lesson for today is about the
importance and uses of dictionary.
At your age you will wonder why we need
to study more about the importance and
uses o dictionary.
Dear children, we need to study the
importance and uses of dictionary because
it has been our source of all our English
words. Besides English is our second
language and our International Language.
It is very useful in our daily life in order for
us to communicate effectively with our
fellow Filipino citizen that’s why we have
our English subject in our curriculum.

3. DISCUSSION

(Insert power point presentation for

discussion)
Importance and Uses of Dictionary

1. Syllabication
-is the breaking of a word into parts. Each
part is called SYLLABLE.
-sometimes we use hyphens, dots and
spaces.
When you open a dictionary and look for a
particular word you will see there how the
word is being syllabicated.
Example: ceremony(cer-e-mo-ny) using a
hyphen
(Cer•e•mo•ny)using a dots
 ( cer e mon y) using spaces
Always remember that not all dictionaries
contain syllabication of a word, others may
have while others do not.

2. Stress Mark
-the symbol (‘) between syllables is called
an accent mark or stress mark. It tells
which part or syllable of word is said in a
strong voice.
Example: furniture (fur’-ni-ture)
Based on the example the stress mark is
found in the first syllable ‘fur’ which
means that you are going to say the word
‘fur’ in a strong voice. Accent mark or
stress mark is a punctuation mark called
apostrophe but if seen in a dictionary has a
meaning. Just like what I have said before
if the accent mark is located on the 1st
syllable you should say it in a strong voice;
if it is in the 2nd syllable stress the 2nd
syllable; if it is in the 3rd stress the 3rd
syllable and so on.

3. Multiple Meaning
- some words may have different
meanings. In choosing the correct
meaning, we should consider how the
word is used in the sentence.
Okay get your Skill Builder book and open
on page 13.
So what is your answer in no. 1?
No. 2? No. 3? No. 4? And No. 5?
Take note that the encircled word in each
item is the word trunk. It is used in
different ways. Its meaning vary according
to its use in the sentence so always
remember that a word may vary its
meaning when use in different sentences.
So you will notice that some words has
many meanings in the dictionary.

4. Antonym
-an antonym is a word that has the
opposite or almost the opposite meaning
as another word.
ex.: small-tall
hot-cold
Always remember that not all dictionaries
contain antonyms and synonyms of a
word. When we say antonym it is opposite
in meaning.
 5. Synonyms
-a synonym is a word that has the same or
almost the same meaning as another
word.
ex.:hard-difficult
shout-yell

6. Etymology
-the study of origin of words and the
historical development of its meaning.
Etymology or origin of a word is also
important when we try to know where the
word is derived from. Say for example the
word is phobia. Looe for the origin of the
word phobia using a dictionary.
Very good, you will see there that it’s from
a Greek word “phobos” which means fear.
Written in this manner ( Gk phobos, fear)

7. Pronunciation
-the way in which a word is pronounce.
Entry word is always followed by
pronunciation- a manner in which a word
is pronounce. Usually enclosed by a
parentheses.

4. APPLICATION

activity.
Listen carefully to the instruction.
Instruction: Form two groups and select 1
leader to present your work later on. I will
give each group a piece of paper with a
table in it. Please complete the table by
using a dictionary. I will provide each one a
dictionary to use. Look for the entry word
and find what is being asked. We will
check you work if you are done and we will
see who among you got it right. Your

5. GENERALIZATIONS

What do you think is the connection of our

first activity to our lesson? Pupils will answer.

Do you know that English language is very

important to us? In what way? Yes ma’am. Since it is the basis of our spoken language and
we use them in our daily life in order to communicate with
others. Though our first language is Filipino we still need to
learn more about our second language which is English. It
is very important because later when we will look for jobs
English language is used as a medium for communication
especially in an interview.
What is the basis of our spoken language? Dictionary is our source of all English words. Though not all
What particular resources do we use? dictionary but there are some that contains extensive
English words.
In looking for an ambiguous word, what do
we use? Why do we need to know them? Dictionary. Because it adds up to our vocabulary which will
be helpful in quest of knowledge.
What is the significance? It will help us in gaining more knowledge that will
eventually help us in communication skills, vocabulary
enhancement and others.
Is it important to learn the different uses
of dictionary? Yes.
Why is it very important to us as a
student? Because as a pupil, we encounter so much word which is
very ambiguous to us and with the help of dictionary we
are able to meet new words.
