Editor's Notes
- An example of metaphor- thinking out of the box means to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective
- There are also personal connotation- your private meaning general connotation- the meaning elicited by a large group of people Emotional or social meaning
- Connotation beats denotation every time in any conversation (in poetry, or literature or anywhere your mind wonder)
- The repercussion of words with connotative meaning may lead into a breakdown of communication. However, you can get rid of this if only you know how to play with these words and you will drown this in the context they will easily understand. And CONTEXTUALIZATION will get into picture.
- One way of learning the meaning of a word is to look at the words that surround it. This technique is called context clues
- Because of most of our vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important recognize and to take advantage of context clues
- The cloze procedure can be used with students at all levels of reading ability to assess reading comprehension or test vocabulary knowledge. It involves taking a passage of text that students have previously read, and deleting words from it. Students must supply the omitted words to complete the sentences. Completing these sentences requires critical thinking skills and allows teachers to gauge how well students are able to use semantic and syntax cues to construct meaning from the text. It can also be used to determine how well students have retained knowledge of content or vocabulary
- 1) Determine the purpose. Deletions can fall into several categories depending on the purpose of the exercise. A teacher may be teaching content (such as geography), or text structure (including nouns, verbs). Teachers could also be teaching students on predicting and inferring (or what would make sense). The intention of the lesson depends on the words being deleted. However, many cloze passages are a combination of all three, particularly in more advanced student work. Next: 2) Select an appropriate text. Two main thoughts should be present when selecting text for use for cloze passages. The text should be meaningful and interesting to the students. And the passage needs to be at an independent reading level. If the text is too difficult or too simple, the exercise won't be useful. The length of the text is also dependent on the ability level of the child, shorter passages for younger students or English Language Learners and longer for more proficient ones. Third, be sure to: 3) Chose the correct number of words to delete. When determining the number of words to omit from a passage it is important for a teacher to consider the students and purpose of the particular cloze exercise. There is no standard or set number of words to delete, but a general guideline to be used is determined by reading level. For beginning readers, delete one word for every 8-10; developing readers, delete one word for every 10-15; and emergent readers, delete one word for every 15-20.
- The phrase "word map" is sometimes used to describe a more detailed mapping of the meaning of one word.
