  3. COMPREHENSION II. 5 Steps - How to Paraphrase 1) Read the selection through one time. 2) REREAD the selection to make you understand the author’s meaning and the whole text. 3) IDENTIFY any words you don’t know and look them up. OR from context, replace them with words you know that fit the text. USE YOUR OWN WORDS to retell the information paying attention to key ideas or events the author talked about. REREAD your own work to make sure it makes sense! (And that you didn’t leave out any info or important details!) Let’s try it! Read page 283 and answer the two questions!

  4. COMPREHENSION III. Now – what about those times when a word or a phrase means more than meets the eye - - - more that its actual definition? Words have 1) denotation and 2) connotation and can be used in 3) idioms! The real dictionary definition! EX: Home = where one lives Denotation = _________________________ 2) Connotation = _________________________ 3) Idiom = _____________________________ What the word brings to mind- both positive or negative! EX: Home = love anexpression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its individual words! EX: kick the bucket

  5. COMPREHENSION Okay, let’s try this! Read page 287 and answer I. INTERPRETAND II. APPLY - butwrite original sentences! INTERPRET: Underline the idiom and write its meaning. Kayla was too tired to talk; she was at the end of her rope. _______________________________________________________ 2) Having polished off dinner, he began to clear the table. _______________________________________________________ 3) When this practical joke backfired in front of everyone, Jamal knew he had egg on his face. ______________________________________________________ 4) Realizing that he was getting an opportunity to perform on national TV, the performer decided to seize the moment. ______________________________________________________ at the end of her rope = exhausted/frazzled polished off = eaten all of it! egg on his face = embarrassed by his own actions To seize the moment = to take advantage of a great opportunity

  6. APPLY: Write original sentences with the following idioms. Get up on the wrong side of the bed = to be in a bad mood _______________________________________________________ 2) Foam at the mouth = to display anger _______________________________________________________ 3) Go the extra mile = to go beyond what is expected ______________________________________________________ 4) Wash your hands of it = to deny responsibility for something ______________________________________________________ 5) It’s neither here nor there = It’s not important/ has no bearing _______________________________________________________ 6) Pull the wool over her eyes = to deceive someone _________________________________________________________

  7. IV. Now let’s look at how words are used in imagery and mood! Imagery = _____________________________ 2) Mood = _______________________________ Words that appeal to the 5 senses; sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell The overall feeling the words convey; how the words make you feel ; Expressed in emotional words such as gloomy, Sad, happy, joyful, ….. Let’s try this! Read the poem “Petals” on page 289 as per the directions and answer the two questions!

  8. “Petals” by Pat Mora – page 289 have calloused her hands, brightly colored crepe paper: turquoise, yellow, magenta, which she shapes into large blooms for bargain-hunting tourists 5 who see her flowers, her puppets, her baskets, but not her – small, gray-haired woman wearing a white apron, who hides behind blossoms in her stall at the market, who sits and remembers collecting wildflowers 10 as a girl, climbing rocky Mexican hills to fill a straw hat with soft blooms which she’d stroke gently, over and over again with her smooth fingertips.
