Summary

Context clues lessons can be a disaster. Here, we expose students to a delightful classic packed with nonsense words (“Jabberwocky”) and ask them to decipher the meanings and parts of speech. Then, it’s only natural for students to write their own nonsense poems.

  1. First students will try to define nonsense words from stanzas three and four.
  2. Then they rank those words based on how certain they are of their meaning.
  3. Finally, students can try their hand at writing their own nonsense poetry (and test their context clues on other students).

This lesson also includes 3 student videos and 5 printable worksheets.
