However, it is important to share with students that there are limitations to using context clues and sometimes the text does not give sufficient clues to the meaning of a word.  \n\n| TEACHER EXPLAINS TASK |\n| --- |\n| We will identify the correct meaning of an unknown word using other words in the sentence. |\n| TEACHER MODELS TASK |\n| Write sentence on paper or whiteboard.\u003Cbr>When we do not know the meaning of a word in a sentence, sometimes we can use other words in the sentence to find its meaning. This is what we do to find the meaning of an unknown word.\u003Cbr>First, read the sentence and underline the unknown word.\u003Cbr>Next, think about what is happening in the sentence.\u003Cbr>Then, find other words that may explain the meaning of the unknown word. Finally, try out the different words in the sentence to see if they make sense.\u003Cbr>Listen to this sentence. Point to each word as you read aloud.\u003Cbr>After the long trip, I was exhausted or very tired and needed to take a nap.\u003Cbr>Now read the sentence with me. Point to each word as you choral read with students.\u003Cbr>• After the long trip, I was exhausted or very tired and needed to take a nap.\u003Cbr>First, I am going to underline exhausted, because I do not know the meaning of the word.\u003Cbr>Next, I ask, what is happening in this sentence?\u003Cbr>I took a long trip that made me tired.\u003Cbr>Then, I ask, are there other words in the sentence that help me figure out the meaning of ‘exhausted’?\u003Cbr>Yes. It says I was ‘very tired’ and ‘needed a nap’. I know that this means I was worn-out, sleepy and had no energy. The sentence also says I was ‘exhausted’. Because the sentence says I was ‘exhausted’ or ‘very tired’ the two words mean the same.\u003Cbr>Finally, I am going to try out my words in the sentence.\u003Cbr>After the long trip, I was worn-out and needed to take a nap.\u003Cbr>This sentence makes sense. So, the word ‘exhausted’ must also mean ‘very tired’ or ‘worn-out’. Now I’ll say the sentence with the word, exhausted. Point to each word as you read aloud.\u003Cbr>After the long trip I was exhausted and needed to take a nap. |\n\nNow that I understand the meaning of the word, exhausted, in that sentence, I will use the word in my own sentence.  \nI was exhausted from raking all the leaves.  \nCan you make up a sentence using the word, exhausted? Accept all relevant examples. Provide a prompt if needed, to support the students in creating a new sentence. (e.g., I felt exhausted after...).  \nListen to this new sentence. Point to each word as you read aloud.  \nTo finish her drawing in art class, Sally had to concentrate, or focus her attention, so she wouldn’t run out of time.  \nNow read the sentence with me. Point to each word as you choral read with students.  \n• To finish her drawing in art class, Sally had to concentrate, or focus her attention, so she wouldn’t run out  \nof time.  \nFirst, I am going to underline concentrate, because I do not know the meaning of the word.  \nNext, I ask, what is happening in this sentence?  \nSally was drawing in art class. She was running out of time.  \nThen, I ask, are there other words in the sentence that tell me what she had to do because she was running out of time?  \nYes. It says she had to ‘focus her attention’. I think I know what this means. She had ‘to think only about’ doing her drawing. It also says she had to ‘concentrate’.
