Lesson Review: Connotation versus
Denotation
1. We are going to finish
PAGE 24 page today, then hand it in, so please put your name at the top
now.
2. Number your words
now—do you have five words (or more) for each number?
3.
Remember how we said some
words are loaded, that they have baggage, that they have CONNOTATIONS that have
to do with our own personal associations?
4.
Reminder: We’re basing our choices on the CONNOTATIONS
of the words, instead of the DENOTATIONS.
5. We’ll share out our
best word from each category.
6. Feel free to
borrow! Once you write them down,
they’re yours to keep and use! ;-)

Myth Review—Making Connections
1. This class is designed to prepare you for college, so let’s
practice. Listen to the lecture from
Professor Lavender from New Mexico State University.
a. Title: Greek Creation,
Original of Humans, Flood (27:32)
2. Reading Strategy:
Visualizing
a. We are going to VISUALIZE.
Normally, you do this in your brain as you read, if you’re reading
actively.
b. But today, YOU (as your Greek figure) are going to act out parts of
the lecture as applicable.
c. Some of you will be chopping off people’s body parts; others will
simply be standing next to your connections.
This should be DYNAMIC. You
should be moving!
3. You listen and make the connections.
4. I’ll take the notes.
5. GOAL: CONNECT SOME DOTS!
