Homophones

Let's try this and say the coloured words aloud 

dear/deer

bare/bear

wear/where

war/wore

idol/idle

Did you notice that the paired words have the same pronunciation? 

Each has different meanings, right?

They are called HOMOPHONES when two words have the same way of pronouncing, yet have different meanings. 

So, for this lesson...

Let's listen to a song! 

Give students a handout as presented below, and play Smile - Uncle Kraker for them to listen to. As they listen to the song, they are needed to circle the appropriate words in the lyrics. 

Teacher will then check the answers with students. If they have problems in understanding some of the words, they can refer to Dictionary.com.

Enjoy listening!




*Cannot think of homework for them? Ask them to write a sentence for each word
(yes, each word) to see if they can use it correctly in a grammatically correct sentence. Writing 22 sentences might sound brutal, so it's ok for them to write simple ones.
