QUESTION
B. DURING READING Before reading, let me introduce to you
Amanda Chong is a lawyer trained in
Cambridge and Harvard, who writes poems
on her lunch breaks. Her poetry has been
engraved on the Marina Bay Helix Bridge and
included in the Cambridge International
GCSE syllabus. Her first collection of poetry,
Professions, was published in 2016 and
shortlisted for the 2018 Singapore Literature
Prize.

Kindly read the poem entitled

"“Lion Heart” By Amanda Chiong
C. POST-READING 1. To what did the poet compare Singapore?
2. What do the lines mean: “You conquered
the shore, its ivory coast. Your legs still
rocked with the memory of waves.”
3. What are the themes raised in the poem?
4. What impression does the author have of
Singapore?
5. Do we have the same feeling towards our
country?
6. As we analyze the text, what are the
distinguishing features of poem?

Think once more of the words that we

encountered in the poem “Lion Heart.”

How did you get the meaning of the words

below?

You can guess the meaning of the word by

studying the meaning of its word parts.

For example:
UNSHEATHED means to draw from or as
if from a sheath or scabbard
*UN means not
*SHEATH means to case or cover with
something (such as sheets of metal) that
protects

So what are prefixes?

Prefix is a word part added to the beginning

of a base word or root. When a prefix is
added, the meaning of the word changes,
sometimes even part of speech.
Prefix is itself a word formed with a prefix:
pre- before + to fix. A prefix then is
something affixed before a word.
A prefix is a letter or a group of letters that
attaches to the beginning of a word and
helps to indicate or modify its meaning. An
easy example would be the word ‘prefix’
itself! It begins with the prefix pre-, which
means ‘before’.
It is quite important to understand what
different prefixes mean as they can help to
understand the meanings of any new
vocabulary that you learn. However, you do
need to be careful, as sometimes a prefix
can have more than one meaning!

Another example would be im-, this can

mean ‘not’ or ‘into’.
Prefix Meaning Examples
re- again Return,
rediscover
 un- not Unfinished,
unfriendly,
undone
Multi- Many Multinational,
multicultural
mis- Wrongly misinterpret,
misfire,
mistake
dis- opposite disagree,
of, not disappear,
disintegrate

1. Literary Extender Changes create challenges. So, with the

challenges experienced by Singapore in the
poem “Lion Heart” and with the changes
brought by Prefixes in words - similar to life,

“How can we become adaptable to the daily

changes and challenges happening around
us?"
2. Skill Development
(The teacher will prepare a large cube with
prefixes written on the 6 faces.)

The teacher will ask for volunteers who will

roll the large cube/dice and as it stops rolling,
the assigned student should give an example
of word beginning with the prefix shown in
the Prefix Cube. If he/she gave a correct
answer, he/she has the chance to pass the cube
to his/her classmates.

1. re- 4. Im-
2. mis- 5. Un-
3. multi- 6. Dis-

3. Generalizations
TASK 5. OSS (One Sentence Summary)
The teacher will ask the students to give a
 sentence summary that answers the “who,
what, where, when, why, and how” questions
about the topic.
