Analogy and Classification

Analogy and Classification

ENGLISH IV- WEEK 8

Meanings can be identified and understood in various ways. Two of these ways include analogy and classification. These help in understanding meanings and texts through word association. The relationships of texts and/or images are examined to establish clear links to arrive at proper meanings of words. You are expected to differentiate analogy from classification; and determine the meaning of words/build vocabulary through analogy and/or classification. 

 Look at the pictures carefully. Try to see how they are related to each other.
