V. AVPM This time, I am going to present a video about our lesson and all you have to do is to listen attentively and don’t talk to your classmates. Am I understood? Yes, ma’am. (Video Presentation of the Lesson) VI. Deepening of the Lesson Now, for you to be able to fully understand our discussion, let us go back to what the video lesson has presented to us. First, let us define the word, connotation. Connotation is a feeling or idea that a word has. Whereas denotation is the precise, literal definition of a word that might be found in a dictionary. ,Sometimes, words have the same basic definitions, but have different connotations. Class, the two types of connotations are namely, Positive and Negative connotation. Positive connotation implies positive emotions and associations. Kindly read the example. This phrase has a positive association “the aroma of my grandmother’s cooking” because the word “aroma” implies that the smell is pleasing and inviting. Positive messages focus on the type of communication that provides good news, acceptance, or congratulations. The second type is negative connotation which implies negative emotions and associations. Going back to the presented example earlier which is “the aroma of my grandmother’s cooking,” what will happen if we exchange the word “aroma” with the word “stench,” then the phrase becomes “the stench of my grandmother’s cooking.” Even if the words, aroma and stench have a negative connotation, thus, the meal sounds much less appealing. VII. I DO/Modelling At this point, let us together answer the following activity in order to test your knowledge about our lesson. Directions: Determine whether the underlined words in the sentences denote positive or negative denotation. What do you think is the answer question number 1? in The answer is negative connotation, ma’am. 1. It was hard to ignore the baby’s disturbing screams. Great! The answer is negative connotation because it implies that the baby’s scream is annoying. It is better to use the word loud in the sentence. How about item number two? 2. Jackie wore a retro-inspired dress to the party. Precisely! It is positive because retro clothes don’t refer to a specific time period during which they were created. Instead, “retro” relates to the style in which the items are made. The answer is positive connotation, ma’am. Let’s proceed to item number 3. 3. Dexter was a conversationalist person. The word suggests a positive connotation, ma’am. Exactly! The underlined may mean a person who loves to start a conversation or a person who is good in talking to different kinds of people. How about the next item? 4. She is a chubby person. The answer is positive connotation, ma’am. Excellent! A chubby person is slightly overweight, somewhat fat and hence soft. If we are going to use the word fat in the sentence, it will imply a negative description to the person and can be perceived as an offensive word. How about the last item? 5. The slender girl made her way to the water. The answer is positive connotation ma’am. You are indeed correct! Slender implies a generally attractive and pleasing thinness. Are there any questions, class? None, ma’am. VIII. Activity 1 It is finally the time to test your understanding about our lesson.. Write your answers in a one fourth sheet of paper.
