| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Introduce the topic of context clues. Explain its importance in understanding texts. Engage students with a quick question: “What do you do when you encounter a word you don’t know?” |
| 2 | Explanation | 10 min | Define context clues clearly. Discuss different types (synonyms, antonyms, examples). Provide visual examples on the board. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 min | Distribute printed handouts with a short reading passage. Read together as a class, highlighting words with context clues. Discuss how to infer meanings. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 min | Hand out the Context Clue worksheet. Students will work individually to complete it, using context clues to infer meanings of selected words. |
| 5 | Review and Exit Ticket | 5 min | Go over the worksheet answers with the class, clarifying any misunderstandings. Collect worksheets for assessment. Have students write one new word they learned on sticky notes and stick it on the board as an exit ticket. |
Assign students to read a short story of their choice and write down five new words they encountered. For each word, they should identify at least two context clues that helped them understand the meaning, which will be checked without presenting in front of the class.
