Definition: To prepare oneself.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to prepare oneself” – it’s close, but not quite the whole story, you see. “Addressed” has a deeper meaning for you and me! Think of it like this: when you address an envelope, what do you do? You write someone's name and address, right? You’re directing something – a letter, a thought, a concern - specifically to that person. So, “addressed” means to turn your attention or efforts towards something or someone. It’s about showing respect and focusing your energy on a particular thing. Let's put it in a little rhyme: “Addressed” means you’ve given it a try, Focused your thoughts beneath the sky! You’ve turned your gaze, clear and bright, To meet a challenge with all your might!” Do you have any questions about that? Let's break it down further if needed.

Definition: To fit out with the necessary clothing; to clothe, put clothes on (something or someone).

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that’s quite simple, but important to know. We're talking about “dressed.” The dictionary gives us a lovely clue, you see – it says "To fit out with the necessary clothing; to clothe, put clothes on (something or someone)." Let's break that down in a way that makes sense: “Dressed” means to wear clothes! It’s about covering your body with fabric. Think of putting on a shirt and pants, a dress or even a hat – those are all things that make you “dressed.” You might say, "She is dressed for school," meaning she's wearing her uniform, ready to learn. Or, "The teddy bear is dressed in a tiny coat!" - He’s got clothes too, don’t you think? Does that rhyme help you remember the meaning? “Dressed” and “expressed,” it’s a little trick! Do you have any questions about what it means to be dressed?
