The Concepts of Pyramid Table
1. The
Definition of Pyramid Table
According to Hill. M (1997: 6) pyramid table is very effective for organizing information
in a majority/minority or general-to-specific manner. A pyramid table can also
be used to list details or facts leading up to a climax or culminating event.
Have students start at the bottom of the pyramid if you would like them to work from a generalization to a more
specific idea.
pyramid is used for evaluating
summary content (as opposed, forexample, to wording), units of comparison
within a pyramid correspond to unitsof meaning. The Pyramid can be used to sort
and review concepts studied and investigating alternate realizations of the
same meaning
Pyramid is a triangle table that consist of
wordlist from majority to minority. In addition Preszler. J (2006: 18) The pyramid
helps students determine the common attributes of a list of vocabulary words so
they can name the category describing the terms.
Based on the definition above the
writer concluded that the pyramid in teaching vocabulary is a word list from
majority word to minority word or list the word from general to spesific. It is
a way to help the students diviloping their skill in vocabulary
