A sentence or text must make sense to the reader as well
as the information it contains. Although dictionaries and
other online resources are useful, they are not always

interpret a foreign text's meaning or the full claim by
using context-based cues. Comprehending previous data
facilitates the interpretation of textual meaning.

IV. LEARNING PHASES

Introduction Do you ignore and move on from unknown words
when you come across them in a text? With a
comprehensive series of language arts activities,
practice identifying terms you don't know by using
antonym or contrast clue. This resource walks high
school students through the reading process while
promoting critical thinking and careful reading.
Similar to synonyms, antonyms are words having

opposite meanings that might provide context.
Sentences contain an implied contradiction or
contrast, such as but, however, or other specific cue
words. Remember that the definition of the unknown
term can only be revealed by inverting the meaning of
the antonym.
98
Let's go ahead and prepare to rock.
Pre-activity
Activity 1: Pick-me-up
Directions: We will now engage in a game

known as “Pick-me-up." Find a partner and pick
up one card that contains a word. After that, you
both have five minutes to find another pair who
has the word that means the opposite of what
you have. For instance, if I have the word yes, I
now need to find the person who has the word
NO. Why? Because their meaning is opposite.
Once you've located your partner, you'll stay
seated and wait to share the two opposing words
you possess. There will be duo presentations.
There could be 2pts on each correct pair.
Your gained points on each activity will be
recorded on the scoresheet.
99
Let’s go on to the next activity.
Enjoy the Balloon game.
Activity 2: The Balloons

While-
activity Directions: Choose a number and answer the question
that corresponds to the number. To win the game, read

Let’s see if you can still hold on to your
energy.
Activity 3: ENHN MODE

Post-
activity Directions: Choose your fate from Easy, Normal, Hard,
and Nightmare mode and answer the question.
Have the ability to select your own destiny, or else it will

be less favorable.
How to win the game, choose the letter of the word that
most closely matches on the meaning of the underlined
word in the sentence. Use the antonym in blue as a clue
to determine the meaning. You will hear a correct sound
when you determine the correct meaning. But when you
click the wrong answer, word will appear in red color.
