Analysis ➢ The teacher will ask the following questions:
The terms hyponyms and hypernym are derived from the ancient
Greek words hupo (“hypo” which means below or lower), huper
(“hyper” which means over or beyond) and onoma (“nym” which
means name).
Examples:
Fruit
Pineapple
Orange
Grape
Gadget
Phone
Computer

Employee
Secretary

The most important factors for a long life, I think, are partly in the
genes; number two is lifestyle, which includes healthy diet and
regular exercise. I walk, run and swim every day. However, I think
too much exercise is also unhealthy because of over-stress;
sometimes people who exercise too many hours per day die early.
Hypernym: Lifestyle
Hyponym: Healthy diet, regular exercise, walk, run and swim
2. Practice Application With the same groups, each will be given a photocopy of a
selection where they must look for hypernyms and hyponyms. Each
group must write their answers on one ipad only using the Popplet
Lite app. Afterwards, they will present it in front and explain.
