Activity: Put a nonsense word on the board. Explain that this word
does not have a definition, but we can define it however we want using
context clues. Reveal a sentence using the word and have students
define it.
Give each student a nonsense word. They are to put this word in a
sentence using one of the context clues strategies from earlier.
They will then switch their sentence with someone else and define the
nonsense word they were given based on the context clues of the
sentence.
The exit slip will be a quick informal assessment of how student apply their
learning to content.
Give students homework worksheet to practice defining words using context
clues and studying which type of clue they used. This will be due the next
time class meets.
Example
The fox raced swiftly
through the trees and
flew out of sight.
