Six pages of sentences, each with one new word underlined. On pages 1 and 4 students circle the meaning; on pages 2 and 5 they circle the clue words and write the meaning; on pages 3 and 6 they write it from a word bank.
Model the first one aloud: "I do not know famished. They ate three sandwiches each, so it must mean very hungry." Then have partners find the clue words before they choose.
When you read together and meet a new word, stop and ask what the other words in the sentence tell you. Then check the meaning together.
Sentences with one new word underlined, a word like famished, tranquil or cunning, and the rest of the sentence as the clue. Students circle what the word means, circle the clue words and write the meaning.
