QUESTION 1
1.1 Teaching Intensive Reading for Comprehension at a Word Level
To teach intensive reading for comprehension at a word level using "The
Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, we can focus on vocabulary development,
context clues, and word analysis. Here's how to approach it:
1. Vocabulary Development:
o Identify Key Vocabulary: Choose words from the text that are
essential for understanding the story. For example, words like
"luxurious," "envy," and "anxiously."
o Provide Definitions and Examples: Explain the meanings of these
words and use them in different sentences. For instance:
▪ Luxurious: "The house was filled with luxurious furniture,
making it look like a palace."
▪ Envy: "She felt a pang of envy when she saw her friend's new
dress."
▪ Anxiously: "He waited anxiously for the results of his exam."
