Introduction

This week you are going to use our understanding of context clues to apply to your own reading. There will be a quiz on Friday on context clues.

Context Clues When strong readers come to an unfamiliar word, they use the clues around the words to determine the meaning. I Inference - The meaning is not given. Use context clues. I don’t like talking with Jane; all she talks about is herself. She is so arrogant. D Definition - the meaning of the word is explained Jane is so arrogant. She thinks she is better than everyone else. E Example - an example of the word is in the sentence Jane is so arrogant. She is always bragging about how great she is at school. A Antonym - a word with opposite meaning is used Jane is so arrogant. She needs to be more humble so she will have more friends. S Synonym - words with similar meaning are used Jane is so arrogant, proud, self-centered, and overbearing.

Introduction

Hi reader! We are going to be continuing our work with first and second hand accounts. Remember, first hand accounts happen when the author is a witness to what happened. Second hand accounts were written by someone who heard about it from someone else and may have multiple sources.

In Your Notebook:  Read for thirty minutes from a non-fiction text. Then, write whether or not it is a second or first hand account and why. Do you think that most nonfiction are written in first hand or second hand? Why do you think that?
