Dreams for All
By Debbie Ann Tan

People are active individuals. Day in and day out, their lives are full of
spontaneous activities. Sometimes, even while sleeping, they make actions
and biological in nature. Things that happen are kept by our subconscious minds
and when we sleep, they are reactivated by dreams. Dreams are what we know
as spontaneous reactions.

(Teacher asks: - What may happen to people when they are asleep? And what is
a dream?)

Many distinguished psychologists discovered the biology of dreaming

which was promulgated by American researchers headed by Eugene Aserinsky
and Nathaniel Klietman in the ‘50s. Their studies have proven that dreams take
place during a biological state. There are two states of sleep.
The first one is known as the NREM-sleep (Nonrapid eye movement
sleep) or the S-sleep(synchronized sleep). A person under this state has no
dreaming episodes. It is associated with low pulse and blood pressure and
normal regulated activity of the nervous system.
The second one is the D-sleep (dreaming of desynchronized sleep) or
REM-sleep(rapid eye movement sleep). This is characterized by an activation of
that sleep is an active process.
 -(Who discovered the biology of dreaming? What are the two states of sleep?
Differentiate.)

Some are afraid when they dream. There’s nothing to worry about
because it is just an ordinary activity of the brain. Some biological studies show
that the brain gets in the same amount of oxygen as when one is awake during
D-sleep. There are continuous activities in the central nervous system similar to
the continuous production of body chemicals.

- (Should you be afraid of your dream? Why? Why not?)

Through dreaming, some writers and researchers get inspiration in writing
their masterpieces. Cartoon characters are also taken from dreams of the
cartoonists.
Other people earn money by interpreting dreams. Their clients
provide the exact details of their dream and presto! The interpreter will tell their
client the meaning of the dream.

- (Is there a benefit we can get from dreaming? Site an example.)

Dreaming is a mysterious act and people enjoy having their dreams

interpreted as something fruitful and positive.
More people nowadays consider dreaming as an outlet of pent-up
emotions. But then, everyone needs at least eight hours of sleep a day to be
ready for their daily routine. Why don’t you sleep and enjoy dreaming? Take a
break.
- (In your own understanding what is a dream?)
- What value can you get from this selection?

Let the class read the words in column B.

Bio

psycho

dream

search
 (Say: From the new words, you can now give its meaning. Let us observe words
from box B. Do these words have meaning without words from box C? The
answer is yes. Because words from Box B are called root words.)

For example, the word bio-(means life)-logy is a suffix which means study of,
when the word –ical means of pertaining to ( was added to biology it becomes
biological which means genetically related/related by blood or relating to biology
or living organisms. Therefore root word is a basic word which affixes are added
to form a new word and meaning.

2.Modeling /Teaching:

( Teacher say: What do readers do when they don’t know the meaning of a
word?)

-It is often useful to look at what comes before and after that word. The surrounding
words can give readers helpful context clues about the meaning and structure of the new
word, as well as how it is used.

A. Infer Meaning of a words through Context Clues. (Science Vocabulary)

(Teacher say: During First Quarter we already studied about inferring

meaning of words using context clues, affixes and roots ,but this time we will be
using Science vocabulary.)

Ex. She decided to search for her biological mother after her adoptive
parents died who not her real parents.
(Teacher asks: What is the meaning of the word biological? What helps you
infer the meaning of the word?
(To get the meaning, teacher may allow learners to use online dictionary)
Answer. Connected by direct genetic relationship/ Context
clues
Context clues- are hints that the author gives to help define a difficult or unfamiliar word.
The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word which it refers, or it may follow
in a preceding sentence.

B.Infer Meaning through Affixes (Prefix and Suffix) and Roots

Word Parts
The idea: breakdown the different parts of a word-base word (word stem or root word),
prefixes, and suffixes-to figure out what it means.

- Affixes –are parts of words that can be added to words to change the meaning.
PREFIXES
 Prefix Definition Example

Re- again Research

trans Across, change, through Transformation

Transportation
transfer

super Above on, top of, beyond Superfine

Superhuman
supersonic
