great day everyone how are you feeling
today I hope you are doing good and well
so we are at our third week of our
lesson in English 4 and it is for
quarter 1 and for this week we are going
to learn about using structural analysis
in unlocking meaning of words so we are
going to dissect the words no its
components words and how do we um
Analyze This words by uh means of uh its
structure all right so we're going to
unlock the meaning of this words okay so
let's have our learn learning
objectives so using structural analysis
first we need to identify root words to
infer meaning of words so we're going to
start by identifying the root words and
then identify meaning and use of
prefixes like on in ill ear IM Miss in
inferring the meaning of words so as we
all know these prefixes have also their
own meanings and um
a suffixes as well and for the third one
we are going to recognize the denotative
and connotative meaning of words used in
sentences okay but
first for day one let's have okay a
short review okay present basic science
terms that were covered in grade three
guide students in analyzing the meaning
of the words based on the root words the
last column should be blank where
students can write okay um but we
already gave
uh the answers no for the last column
but then let's just go over this one
very quick uh number one or for the
first word we have laboratory the root
uh it came from a Latin root uh
laboratorium meaning of fruit a place
for labor or work what is the meaning of
the word especially room or building
where you do your experiments so uh
specifically like
um science Laboratories but then of
course we also have a lot of rooms we
call that laboratory for example we have
computer laboratory wherein uh you do
your computer work there okay um other
rooms uh we also call that laboratory
wherein uh it's a place wherein uh you
do something or work okay for example
you have your uh tle laboratory no for
example you uh use sue your dress there
you also have your H laboratory for home
economics uh for example you have your
cook there in that laboratory as well
next we have
investigation it came from a Latin root
vestig meaning footprint or track and
its meaning is is to study or examine
closely okay
diagram came from the Greek root diag
graphine or meaning of root marked out
by
LS okay and it's
meaning a drawing that shows how parts
fit together or how something works we
also have microscope from the Greek
Roots
microscoping okay meaning of roots small
to look at okay we use the
microscope in
um looking no for the things that is not
visible to the eye so we use the
microscope so to look at something small
okay that's the meaning of the root okay
and a tool that um its meaning is a tool
that makes tiny things look bigger yeah
so uh very common it we use the
microscope uh um in our science
Laboratories no wherein uh during my
time we were able to um look at a plant
cell and by um using the microscope so
of course we can see a plant cell in uh
our n by using our naked ey so we use
the microscope to look at it next we
also have astronomy so from the Greek
group Astron meaning star okay so the
meaning is learning about things that
are not on the planet Earth okay
astronomy the study of um what do you
call that um the things outside the
Earth like asteroids uh comets something
like
that okay now we have a screenshot here
showing an online search of a word
definition
okay we have here the word signs okay
and what we can see so we can see there
no if you all uh would like to look for
a word in its meaning no try to search a
word in your uh search engine okay and
it will give you a result like this
wherein we can see know how it
is being pronounced the
pronunciation but if if you're not sure
of it just click the it's like the voice
um button and then play it so that you
can hear the correct pronunciation of
the word so it also tells us what parts
of speech okay okay is it a noun a
pronoun a verb or an adjective and then
it will give you the definition of the
word okay you can also have there the
synonyms and of course we have here at
the bottom part we see the origin of the
word
SOA Salita is it a Latin word a Greek
word and its meaning
okay so to further understand let's
unlock okay uh the content vocabulary so
we have here the
definitions and kindly identify the
parts of the words that follow
okay so we have the first one is root
okay the most basic part of the word
which holds the core of the words
meaning or the root word so in Filipino
we call it the salitang ugat okay so
yakang uh we don't uh have the prefixes
and suffixes and INF fixes okay
soal wangi at Wang
Huli and affix an additional element
placed at the beginning or end of a word
to change its meaning so AIX oral
okay next we have prefix this is the AIX
that appear at the front of a root word
soat or the first uh part or before the
root word and
suffix uh it appears at the end of a
word or a phili
pref Salita and then suffix is um can be
seen at the end of a word okay now we
have here a table or a diagram wherein
we have three
words and we're going to check if
the words in the First
Column is a root word or root prefix or
suffix and then uh how about the second
word on the next column so present here
is the root word and then able is the
suffix for international we have enter
okay because we are we've seen it at the
beginning of the word okay it is a
prefix and National is the root word
endless we have end as the root and less
as the suffix because it appears at the
end of the
word let's have our day
two okay so we have
here okay so this is an exercise which
is adopted by Andrew Shihan in 2004 from
Redman Ellis and vene in
1996 which of these words can be
combined with less and full less the
words that can be derived okay so can
you say
useless okay does it have or does it has
a meaning or useful or we can both use
this words how about harm harmless and
harmful
careless and
careful Thoughtless and
thoughtful painless and
painful we also have hopeless and
hopeful now what do You observe okay
when you use the suffix
Les okay and how about when you use the
suffix full Okay so
suffix
Les okay or when we say
useless
useful okay
harmless orful
harmless harmful delic careless no
careful see the difference in the
meaning
thoughtless
painless
painful
hopess and then
hopeful so we can see the difference
between between the meaning no of those
words when we change the suffix or the
prefix of the word in this case we are
uh changing the suffix of the word so we
can observe the difference in their
meaning okay we have here another
example so we are going to analyze the
information on word Parts in the table
below so note the change in the meaning
when a prefix or suffix is added okay so
for you to understand better now we have
here a table we're in we use the root
word use and we have different prefixes
and suffixes and on the last column we
can see the meaning of this words no
when added with prefix or added with or
when we add prefix or if we add suffix
so for use meaning take something for a
purpose to get a result so meaning to
say gamitin okay when we add the suffix
full it became uh useful or it becomes
useful able to be used for a purpose so
magit for a purpose use less okay when
we add a suffix less it means not able
to achieve intended
purpose misuse now we go to to the
prefix Miss and then add with the root
word use
misuse okay it means using something in
a wrong way
soam but if we add the prefix re to the
root word used or reuse it means you're
going to use it again okay one root word
we have two prefix and two suffix and we
end up with five different meaning okay
see okay so let's have
um
uh another table to
analyze okay common Latin roots okay we
have the Latin root Aqua meaning water
okay so example or words aquarium
aquamarine so meaning to say when we
hear the word or the root Aqua it means
it has something to do with water
another one another Latin root is odd
which means to hear so with me uh for
example you have audience and
Auditorium
multi or k or multi oh it depends on how
you pronounce this one meaning many so
for example multimedia and
multiple this the last Latin root is
this which means C okay our example is
visible and vision and that's for the
common Latin roots now let's go to the
common Greek Roots so we have ATI or
anti okay it which means against okay we
have the antivirus and antidote okay
so right so for example we have um a
vaccine no uh antivirus or for example
oh let uh let's uh have a uh antivirus
in a computer or a laptop okay when you
say antivirus it fights against the
virus antidot so same thing um it fight
against a poison okay bio means life as
for biology and biography okay micro
means small we have microscope and
microphone phone means sound
like telephone and
saxophone
okay okay for day three and day four so
your teacher will give you some group
activities regarding our lesson for this
week okay so one of this is uh we're
going to ask for your takeaways
okay what have you learned okay about um
the structure of the word okay so we
basically uh focused on the structure of
the word as the root word okay or the
root and then the addition or the
affixes uh prefix and suffixes all right
so um learning about the word Parts is
helpful in and can you uh continue the
sentence or Supply the sentence complete
it I will study more words so I can and
for your reflection what is one idea
that you understand 100% from today's
lesson and what could you have done
today to help yourself learn better all
right so I
hope okay you enjoyed our lesson for
this week okay with um the structure so
we focused on the structure of the words
like the root word the prefixes and the
suffixes so as you continue to learn
those words The Next Step that you need
to do is to use it in meaningful
sentences okay so this is teacher Isa
thank you for being with me this week
and I hope to be with you again next
week bye
