Mini-Lesson: Figuring Out the Meaning of Words from Context Clues

Teaching Point: Today I want to teach you that envisioning while reading will help you figure out the meaning of new words in a passage - some may be unfamiliar or used in unfamiliar ways. Envisioning will help you use what people call "context clues"

Activity: Look at "Printer's Ink" - Circle any unfamiliar words. Use the context clues to help you determine what those words are. Answer the question.

Independent Work: Read and answer the questions to the following texts.
