KAS ELA Standard: L.5.4.a

Use context (e.g., cause/effect relationships and comparisons in text) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.

Power and Symbols

A skull and crossbones says “danger” faster than any sentence can. So why can’t a symbol say “I forgive you, but I’m still upset”?

What’s In My Brain: May vs May

The word “may” can be used for possibility or permission. It’s a modal auxiliary verb!

What’s In My Brain: Cute Baby vs Fast Cheetah

Can students spot similes vs metaphors?

Jabberwocky and Context Clues

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.
