Review: Writing Lesson
#9: Connotation versus Denotation
Denotation Definition
Ø the
literal or primary meaning of a word
Connotation Definition
Ø an
idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary
meaning.
Ø synonyms: overtone, undertone, undercurrent,
implication, hidden meaning, nuance, hint, echo, association, suggestion,
insinuation
Ø what
makes a word “loaded”
Peer Conference: Death of

listed below.

can “begin with the end in mind”.

Review the Death of
Language Self-Assessment sheet (on white) I gave you yesterday, so you can
“begin with the end in mind.”

Which answers are you

words needed to complete your list of twenty, then type rationales.
6.
By TUESDAY, all twenty
words are due, typed, and in the same format as you see in the examples on page
16. (three sentences for rationale—guideline)
10:40--Writing Lesson Review:
Connotation versus Denotation
1.
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?
2.
Well, turn to page 19, to “Playing with Words”, then
take a look at the examples I have on the big screen. Do you see how
people are basing their choices on the CONNOTATIONS of the words, instead of
the DENOTATIONS?
3.
I’m going to give you five
minutes to fill in as many words as you can. You CAN USE any of the
twenty words you listed for Death of Language.
4.
We’ll share out our best
word from each category.
5.
Feel free to borrow!
Once you write them down, they’re yours to keep and use! ;-)

haven’t filled out the form on the blog for the Russian Tailor revision, you
