Jabberwocky and Context Clues

🔒 This is just a preview! Want to try Byrdseed.TV for a week? Start a trial now!.
 

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.
