    Guessing Game
    I am like a book. I have many words and I
    give their meaning. The words are written
    alphabetically. Who am I?
    Let’s expound our knowledge.

    A dictionary, sometimes known as a


    wordbook, is a collection of words in one or
    more specific languages, often arranged
    alphabetically (or by radical and stroke for
    ideographic languages), which may include
    information on definitions, usage, etymologies,
    phonetics, pronunciations, translation, etc. or a
    book of words
    A  thesaurus is a reference work that
    lists words grouped together according to
    similarity of meaning (containing synonyms
    and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a
    dictionary, which provides definitions for words,
    and generally lists them in alphabetical order
    Define the following words using
    the dictionary:

    1. bother
    2. insure
    3. sophomore
    4. yawn
    5. infect
    Let’s enrich our knowledge and skills.

    Look for the meaning of the underlined words using


    the dictionary.

    a. I spread butter on my bread.


    b. The decision was so abrupt that the people were
    surprised.
    c. Do not insult somebody.
    d. I will mix the ingredients now.
    e. Shake your body when dancing.
    Concept Development:
    Two of the most common reference
    materials are the dictionary and thesaurus.
    A dictionary contains alphabetical lists of
    words that includes the meaning, etymology
    and pronunciation while the thesaurus is a
    book that contains synonyms and even
    antonyms.
    Using a dictionary or a thesaurus, define the
    words below then write a sentence out of each
    word.
    1. decade
    2. rush
    3. cross
    4. interest
    5. admit
    Write the synonyms of the words below:

    1. cure
    2. happy
    3. mistake
    4. purchase
    5. wreck
