### 1.1 Teaching Intensive Reading for Comprehension at a Word Level
**Explanation**: At the word level, intensive reading focuses on
understanding the meaning, pronunciation, and usage of individual words.
This can be done through activities like vocabulary exercises, word
mapping, and context clue analysis.
**Examples from "The Necklace"**:
1. **Vocabulary Exercises**:
- **Word**: "Prospects"
- **Activity**: Ask students to find the word in the text and use context
clues to define it. Discuss how "prospects" relates to the future
opportunities or potential for success.
, - **Word**: "Ecstatically"
- **Activity**: Have students break down the word to understand its root
and suffix. Use examples from the text to show its meaning and use it in
new sentences.
2. **Word Mapping**:
- **Word**: "Chagrin"
- **Activity**: Create a word map with the word "chagrin" in the center.
Branch out to definitions, synonyms (e.g., embarrassment, annoyance),
antonyms (e.g., delight), and example sentences from the story.
3. **Context Clue Analysis**:
- **Word**: "Exorbitant"
- **Activity**: Highlight the sentence where "exorbitant" is used and ask
students to infer its meaning based on surrounding words and phrases.
Discuss how it indicates something excessively high or unreasonable.
### 1.2 Teaching Intensive Reading for Comprehension at a Sentence and
Paragraph Level
**Explanation**: At the sentence and paragraph level, the focus is on
understanding the structure, meaning, and function of sentences and how
they contribute to the overall meaning of paragraphs. This involves
analyzing sentence patterns, identifying main ideas and supporting details,
and understanding transitions.
