👉 A systematic plan of future action.
Alright class, settle down and letâs take a look! Youâve got a great question here today, about the word âscheme.â The dictionary gives you a good start â "a systematic plan of future action." But let's unpack that a little bit, shall we? Think of it like this: A scheme is more than just any idea. Itâs a carefully thought-out strategy . Like when youâre planning a birthday party - you wouldnât just randomly buy balloons and cake, would you? You'd have a scheme : invitations, decorations, food, entertainment⌠everything organized! It can also mean a clever trick or plan, sometimes a little sneaky â like in the saying "he had a scheme to get out of chores!" So, itâs about intention and organization. Here are some ways we might see 'scheme' used: Business Scheme: A company plans its marketing campaign - thatâs a business scheme! A Math Scheme: A method for solving a problem â like using the quadratic formula. A Criminal Scheme: (Let's hope we don't talk about this too much!) A planned illegal act. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how âschemeâ is used in different contexts? Donât be shy, raise your hand! Now, letâs try a quick rhyme... Scheme rhymes with beam , and it's a plan, it would seem!
