I. Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)
• Determine the relevance and the truthfulness of the
ideas presented in the material viewed.
II. Topics
• Homonyms
• Relating text content to particular issues, concerns or
disposition in life.
“Homonym"
• Homonyms are two words that are spelled the same
and sound the same but have different meanings. The
word "homonym" comes from the prefix "homo-,"
which means the same, and the suffix "-nym," which
means name. Therefore, a homonym is a word that
has the same name as another word, meaning that
the two words look and sound exactly alike.
Examples
1. Address - to speak to / location
2. Air - oxygen / a lilting tune
3. Arm - body part / division of a company
4. Band - a musical group / a ring
5. Bark - a tree's out layer / the sound a dog makes
6. Bat - an implement used to hit a ball / a nocturnal flying mammal
7. Bright - very smart or intelligent / filled with light
Homophones, Homographs, Homonyms: What's the
Difference?
These three terms are often confused,
thanks to their identical prefixes. It's the
suffix that makes all the difference in this
case, though.
Let's take a closer look:
 Homophones
Homophones have the same sound but
different meaning, and they are often spelled
differently.
Homophones
Homophones are words that sound
alike, thanks to that all-important
suffix "-phone," which means sound.
Homophones
For example, consider the word "fate" and
"fete." Fate is an inevitable outcome, but a
fete is a festival or party. Homophones may
or may not be spelled the same, because the
definition is really about the sound.
Other examples of homophones:
• knight/night: The knight is on his way to the castle, but
traveling at night is very dangerous.
• knot/not:I do not know how she learned to tie the knot to
make that necklace.
• poor/pour: I pour drinks at a bar every night. I am poor
because I have too many bills and not enough money
Other examples of homophones:
• Accept/Except:

Accept is a verb that means to take or receive.

Except is used as a preposition or conjunction to mean but or
exclude.
• You’re/Your:

You're is a contraction for you are.

Your is a pronoun.
 Homographs
Homographs have the same spelling but
different meanings and usually different
pronunciation.
Homographs
Homographs are words that are
spelled the same, as indicated by the
suffix "-graph," which means
writing.
Homographs
For example, consider the words "tear"
and "tear." Tear can mean drops of water
from the eyes; on the other hand, it can mean
to rip paper into pieces. Either way, the
spelling is the same, but not the meaning
or the sound.
Other examples of homographs:
"Advocate" can be pronounced with a long "a"
sound and mean “to speak or write in support of”
"Advocate" can also be pronounced with a short
"a" sound and refer to a person who supports or
pleads the cause of another.
Other examples of homographs:
• Bass - a deep voice or tone/a kind of fish
• Bat- a piece of sporting equipment used in
baseball/a winged animal associated with
vampires
• Content - happy or satisfied/all that is contained
inside something
Homonyms
Homonyms have characteristics of
both homophones and homographs
Homonyms
they are words that are spelled alike (like
homographs) and sound alike (like homophones).
Homonyms are a special case, and they are best
thought of as the center portion of a Venn diagram
that shows the overlap between homophones in one
half and homographs in the other.
Other examples of homonyms:
• bear (an animal)
• bear (to withstand or hold up)
• can (a metal container)
• can (able to)
 Viewing

purpose for viewing.
STEP 2. DURING VIEWING

connections, making and confirming
predictions and inferences, interpreting and
summarizing, pausing and reviewing, and

STEP 3. POST VIEWING

 Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a play written by Shakespeare. It is a tragic
love story where the two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, are
supposed to be sworn enemies but fall in love. Due to their
families' ongoing conflict, they cannot be together, so they kill
themselves because they cannot cope with being separated from
one another. Romeo and Juliet is a Shakespearean tragedy.
Character List
Romeo
- The son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague. A
young man of about sixteen, Romeo is handsome,
intelligent, and sensitive. Though impulsive and
immature, his idealism and passion make him an
extremely likable character. He lives in the middle of a
violent feud between his family and the Capulets, but he
is not at all interested in violence. His only interest is
love. At the beginning of the play he is madly in love
with a woman named Rosaline, but the instant he lays
eyes on Juliet, he falls in love with her and forgets
Rosaline.
 Juliet
- The daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet. A
beautiful thirteen-year-old girl, Juliet begins the
play as a naïve child who has thought little
about love and marriage, but she grows up
quickly upon falling in love with Romeo, the son
of her family’s great enemy.

Because she is a girl in an aristocratic family, she has none of the

freedom Romeo has to roam around the city, climb over walls in the
middle of the night, or get into swordfights.
Friar Lawrence
A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and
Juliet. Kind, civic-minded, a proponent of
moderation, and always ready with a plan,
Friar Lawrence secretly marries the
impassioned lovers in hopes that the union
might eventually bring peace to Verona. As
well as being a Catholic holy man, Friar
Lawrence is also an expert in the use of
seemingly mystical potions and herbs.
Mercutio
A kinsman to the Prince, and Romeo’s close friend.
One of the most extraordinary characters in all of
Shakespeare’s plays, Mercutio overflows with
imagination, wit, and, at times, a strange, biting
satire and brooding fervor. Mercutio loves wordplay,
especially sexual double entendres. He can be quite
hotheaded, and hates people who are affected,
pretentious, or obsessed with the latest fashions. He
finds Romeo’s romanticized ideas about love
tiresome and tries to convince Romeo to view love as
a simple matter of sexual appetite.
The Nurse
Juliet’s nurse, the woman who breast-fed Juliet
when she was a baby and has cared for Juliet her
entire life. A vulgar, long-winded, and
sentimental character, the Nurse provides comic
relief with her frequently inappropriate remarks
and speeches. But, until a disagreement near the
play’s end, the Nurse is Juliet’s faithful
confidante and loyal intermediary in Juliet’s
affair with Romeo.
Tybalt
A Capulet, Juliet’s cousin on her mother’s
side. Vain, fashionable, supremely aware of
courtesy and the lack of it, he becomes
aggressive, violent, and quick to draw his
sword when he feels his pride has been
injured. Once drawn, his sword is
something to be feared. He loathes
Montagues.
Capulet
The patriarch of the Capulet family, father of
Juliet, husband of Lady Capulet, and enemy,
for unexplained reasons, of Montague. He
truly loves his daughter, though he is not well
acquainted with Juliet’s thoughts or feelings,
and seems to think that what is best for her is
a “good” match with Paris. Often prudent, he
commands respect and propriety, but he is
liable to fly into a rage when either is lacking.
