Description
This product consists of a lesson over denotation and connotation by giving the definitions of each term and examples. After going into detail about positive, negative, and neutral connotations, it gives examples of different connotations for different words and gives various elements in which a word could have different connotations for different readers!
Example from the lesson:
Certain words, depending on tradition and emotions invoked, have positive, neutral, or negative connotations.
For example, spider almost always has a negative connotation because they are creepy, crawly, and scary!
Rich may always have a positive connotation because it means that something is plentiful and bountiful!
However, table may have a neutral connotation because it is simply an object, it does not have an emotional connection tied to it… or does it?
After the lesson, students are tasked with identifying the connotation/challenging themselves to use different words with different connotations in various sentences with 5 practice questions. Lastly, there is a Google Form attached for students to take as an exit ticket for you to gauge your students' understanding of the lesson.
Happy teaching! :)
