OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to:

BEFORE LESSON: 3 students will present their prepared speech to the class

ACTIVITIES:

1.      Explain to students that context clues are pieces of information in the words or sentences or illustrations that help supply the meaning of the word. Tell students that what they just did, using the pictures or other words, helped them figure out the words computer, car, and dog even though they didn’t know what the words were.

2.      Show students the chart and explain each of the following steps, writing each step on the chart as you go:

a.       “Don’t panic.” Don’t let a new word frighten you.

b.      “Context.” The words around it will probably help you figure out what it means.

c.       “Pictures?” See if there are pictures that might help you understand it.

d.      “Guess it!” Guess the word.

e.       “Were you right?” Does the word make sense in your story or sentence? If it doesn’t make sense look at the clues (your words and pictures) again. Did you miss something? Read the sentences carefully to help you figure out the meaning of the word again.

3.      Give each student a copy “Context Clue”

4.      Explain to them that the words in the texts were absolutely nonsense and they have to replace it with real words by guessing the meaning (worksheet level: beginner)

5.      Have students complete the worksheet in pairs.

6.      Tell students they have 5 minutes as it is a race against time – the first group to get all correct will get 20 stars.

7.      After the winner is declared – discuss with the students the answer to all of the text.

8.      Check students’ answers for understanding.
