 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here
to help you get the meaning of words through word association
(analogy) and classification. The scope of this module permits it to
be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the
order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with
the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – What is Analogy?
 Lesson 2 – Types of Word Analogy
 Lesson 3- Get the meaning of words through word association
and classification

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Define the meaning of word analogy;
2. identify the different types of word analogy;
3. get the meaning of words through word association and
classification

7 word association (analogy) and

classification

Great Job! Remember that your work is going to fill a large part of
your life, so keep learning and working hard!

What’s In?

You have learned from your previous lesson the concepts of

denotation and connotation of a word. This time I want you take
a look at the picture and answer the questions below.

1. What do you see in the picture?

_____________________________________________________
2. What comes to your mind when you see this picture? Can you
name them through mentioning words associating the picture
shown?________________________________________________________

Remember!
When we say Denotation, it’s the dictionary and literal meaning
of a word, while Connotation is the emotional or feeling behind
the word.

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will help you in
guiding the learners.

What’s New

It is good that you can still remember what Connotation and

Denotation are all about. This time I want you to give at least 5
words that will associate the pictures shown.

Good Job! What you did is one way of associating words with the
pictures. In language, we have the so called Analogy.
Let us look at the definition below. This will help you understand

shows a relationship between the words that are being
compared. Analogies can use different types of
relationship to compare words.

relationship.”

Now that you have fully understood the definition of Analogy, let
us try this activity.

Example: night : day :: happy : sad

Cause and Effect – involves a noun or verb that leads to the

other word

Example: thirsty: drink :: study : make good grades

let’s do this activity for you to understand better the different
types of Analogy.

animals.
