Satellite Learning Assignment for 2-23-13: Synonyms & Antonyms
During our ISAT Olympics practice, in our writing, and our vocabulary journals, we focus on synonyms & antonyms. Show what you know by watching the video, reading the lyrics, and answering the questions below.
Directions:
1-Watch the Synonyms/Antonyms music video below. 2-Read the LYRICS (Lyrics is a SYNONYM for words in the song) to the right to understand the rap better. 3-Answer the questions in the form below. The answers to ALL of the questions can be found in the video/song and the lyrics to the right. Click HERE or on the image below to watch the video! |
Synonyms & Antonyms "So Many Words"
Uh-huh...listen, Do you know about the synonyms? They say the same thing again and again, again. They use different words with the same meaning, They might appear in the twilight or evening. Don't be fearful, don't be scared, You should be happy and glad they're here. Their team is so large, I'm not lying, Big, and gigantic like a giant or a titan. Use synonyms when you're writing, Scribbling, scrawling, jotting, noting. They're hoping, they're wishing, praying, That you'll use them instead of saying The same thing with the same words. The same thing with the same words. Their names are printed in the thesaurus, So look around that book and explore it! Synonym, then it means the same, So many words, what's in name? Antonym, then it means the opposite, So many words that you have got to get. Uh-huh...look, Another group, they're known as antonyms, They're my enemy, nah we can't be friends. The don't mean the same thing, they mean the opposite, They pick it up when I'm dropping it. Whenever I feel good, they feel bad, Whenever I'm permanent, they're just a fad. When they come around - I'm up, they're down, I'm flying though the sky, they're digging underground. They're brilliant, when I feel stupid, They're useful, when I am useless. The far to my near, the slow to my fast, Bravery to my fear, the first to my last. Shoot, I guess day needs night, Synonyms need antonyms, they don't need to fight. So now you know about these groups, aight? You should use both of 'em when you write... right? Synonym, then it means the same, So many words, what's in name? Antonym, then it means the opposite, So many words that you have got to get. |
