LEARNING PLAN

1. CONTENT

A. Competency (-ies):
 EN9V-Ie-11 Arrive at meaning of words through word formation
(clipping, blending, acronym, compounding, folk etymology, etc.

Know Goal (Cognitive): Analyze and explain the processes of word formation
Understand Goal (Affective): Demonstrate appreciation and interest in the
evolution and creativity of language
Do Goal (Psychomotor): Create visual representations (e.g., charts, posters) of
different word formation processes, physically arranging and presenting words
that exemplify each process.

B. Lesson / Topic: Word Formation

C. Resources: Illuminate: IE for EC Integrated English for Effective
Communications – Phoenix publishing
D. Biblical Integration: Genesis 11:6 - The Lord said, “Behold, they are one
people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began
to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for
them. his verse refers to the unity and power of clear communication. In
the context of the Tower of Babel, the people shared a common language,
which enabled them to work together effectively. Similarly, proper
punctuation and capitalization help ensure that our writing is clear,
understandable, and effective in conveying meaning.

2. PROCESS

A. Pre-Assessment

Activity: Word Formation Role-Play

Let the students choose a representative for each word you will give
them.
The chosen representative then acts out the words where the rest of the
class will guess the word based on what the actions of the representative.
 List of Words:
1. Sunflower 6. Fire cracker
2. Tootbrush 7. Web page
3. Lipstick 8. Telephone
4. Mindblowing 9. Breakfast
5. Bookstore 10. Single-minded

B. Acquisition

The English language has evolved a number of times before it became

the language we intimately speak today. One means of evolution of
language is our innate ability to coin new words out of familiar ones.

Word formation process:

 Clipping: Shortening a longer word (e.g., "phone" from "telephone").
 Blending: Combining parts of two words (e.g., "brunch" from
"breakfast" and "lunch").
 Acronymy: Forming a word from the initial letters of a phrase (e.g.,
"NASA" from "National Aeronautics and Space Administration").
 Compounding: Combining two full words to create a new word (e.g.,
"notebook").
 Folk Etymology: Altering a word to make it seem more familiar or
understandable (e.g., "hangnail" from Old English "agnail").

Essential Questions:
1. How has the evolution of language influenced communication in
modern society?
2. What role do technological advancements play in shaping the evolution
of language?
3. Explain the significance of understanding word formation processes in
improving language skills.
4. How can the evolution of language influence cultural practices and
societal norms?
5. Compare and contrast the word formation processes in English and
another language of your choice.

C. Make-Meaning

A. Open your book on page 4 and answer Activity 3: Building

Compound Words. Match any of the words on the right with the
given word to make a compound word. Write the letter of your
answer on the line before each number.
B. Split the class into small groups, assigning each group one word
formation process to focus on (Clipping, Blending, Acronymy,
Compounding, and Folk Etymology). Give each group a list of words
 that exemplify their assigned word formation process. Ensure these
lists contain a variety of examples. Each group creates a poster or
chart that visually represents their assigned word formation
process.

The poster should include:

 A definition of the process
 A brief explanation of how it works
 Examples of words formed by this process
 Illustrations or diagrams that help explain the process

Encourage creativity with the use of colors, images, and different

fonts.

Scoring: Rubric
Definition = 5pts.
Word Formation Process Examples = 5pts.
Explanation & Presentation = 10pts.
Creativity (Illustrations, Diagrams etc.) = 10pts
TOTAL : 30 pts.

Each group prepares a short presentation (2-3 minutes) to explain their

poster and the word formation process to the class. They should be
ready to answer questions.
