(10)

1.3 Explain and demonstrate with a few examples extracted from the story
The Necklace, by Guy de Maupassant, how you would teach intensive

To address the questions on teaching intensive reading for comprehension
at different levels using "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, here are
some detailed explanations and demonstrations:
1.1 Intensive Reading for Comprehension at Word Level
Explanation: Teaching reading comprehension at the word level involves
helping learners understand the meaning and usage of individual words.
, This can include vocabulary building, understanding context clues, and
using dictionaries.
Examples and Demonstrations:
1. Vocabulary Building:
o Identify difficult or new words in the text. For example, from
"The Necklace," words like "adorned," "prospects," "dowry," and
"gallant" can be highlighted.
o Provide definitions and use the words in different sentences.
▪ Adorned: decorated. Example: The room was adorned
with beautiful flowers.
▪ Prospects: chances of success. Example: Her job
prospects improved after she earned her degree.
2. Context Clues:
o Teach students to use context clues to deduce the meaning of
unknown words.
o Example from the text: "She was one of those pretty and
charming girls, born by a blunder of destiny in a family of
employees."
▪ Here, "blunder" can be inferred as a mistake because it
implies that her charm was misplaced in a family of lower
status.
