Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies
Beginning the Lesson:
- Students will be asked for a recitation about their previous homework on knowing what
5mins synonyms and antonyms are.
- Pass The Message: Students will be grouped by rows and the students on both ends will be
assigned with different tasks. One student on the end will be given a piece of paper with a word
written on it and he/she will whisper the word to the person next to him/her until they reach the
last person on the row. The last person on the row will write on the board the synonym or antonym
of the word depending on what the teacher will instruct.
Developing the Lesson
- Explain and give examples: Synonyms are words that have the same or
nearly the same meaning with another, written in a different word. For
12min example, fast quick, big large.
s - Antonyms are words that are the opposite meaning of another. For
example, the antonym for the word antonym is synonym, big small,
fast slow.
- (Activity) Game Time: The teacher will distribute shuffled cards to each
student with different words. One must look for the person who has the
same (synonym) meaning of the word they have in their card and will
be asked to write a sentence using and underlining the given word.
Vice versa for antonyms.
- Check the words that were written on the board by the students and

Reflection:
It was fun doing and re-enacting this lesson plan especially with the game. I was a bit
short on time but I managed not to cut out activities. I want to try out the
differentiation box in the near future and I hope it will work out well.
