EXTENSION:
If possible, demonstrate the use of an 
online thesaurus such as the one at 
thesaurus.com. Use one of the words from 
Practice 1 as an example. Type in the search 
word, and then look at the search results 
with the class. Reinforce that a thesaurus 
will not explain the differences in meaning 
between synonyms. For that, students need 
to consult a dictionary that includes usage 
information.
UNITY 
(pages 24–26)
• Read the introduction aloud, or have 
students read it. Elicit the two features of 
unity discussed in the paragraph.
• Read the directions for Practice 2. Have 
students do the activity alone. Then have 
them compare answers with a partner. 
Discuss differences of opinion with the 
class. 
• Read the directions for Practice 3. Have 
students do the activity alone. Go over the 
answers with the class. 
EXTENSION:
Have a discussion about the topic of the 
paragraph in Practice 3. Students can work 
in small groups and talk about times when 
they did the wrong thing accidentally in a 
new culture. Alternatively, or in addition, 
students can write about this topic in their 
journals or post a message about it to a 
class blog, website, or discussion list.
COHERENCE 
(pages 26–42)
• Read the introduction aloud, or have a 
student read it. 
Variation: 
Write the words coherence 
(noun) and coherent (adjective) on the 
board. Elicit related forms (e.g., incoherent, 
coherently) and write them on the board.
Repetition of Key Nouns
