TOPIC / THEME: CONTEXTUAL CLUES
OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to:i. achieve 80% mastery (or 4 out of 5 word meanings correctly identified).
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.
