THEN
Identify multiple meaning words. THEN
Determine the meanings of a multiple meaning word within context. |
7. Use context clue strategy |
Be sure to provide specific practice to students on the skills that correspond to their grade level. | ||||
Materials Needed: Print the story. Print, cut, and laminate response boards and response options attached to the end of this lesson. We recommend putting the story in a three ring binder with page protectors and enlarging the print (if necessary). Note that the stories are written in Level 3 text (no picture icons; the Lexile level of the adapted story is about half the grade level text). See notes on "Build Towards Grade Level Competence" for moving students towards grade level text (Level 4). Teachers may modify the story by adding the vocabulary picture icons, simplifying sentences, and deleting nonessential sentences (Level 2 text). We also have provided some Level 2 text examples in the "Build Towards Independent Reading" section. The repeated story line is written simply (Level 1 text) and can be emphasized for students with emergent literacy (e.g., Tomorrow is Esperanza's birthday!) For students with the most significant or multiple disabilities, objects can be used to augment the story (e.g., a doll to represent Esperanza, party favor for birthday). |

[edit] BUILD A GRADE-ALIGNED COMPONENT: I. WORD STUDY
[edit] BUILD A GRADE-ALIGNED COMPONENT: II. PASSAGE COMPREHENSION
[edit] BUILD A GRADE-ALIGNED COMPONENT: III. CONTEXT CLUES
5th Objective: Use a context clue strategy to figure out the meaning of unknown words. (See materials for response board.) | ||
Step | Teacher Says/Does | Student Response |
48. | Sometimes the story has new words you don't know. One way to figure out the meaning of a word is from the context. The context is the other words around it. You use the hints and clues of the other words to make a guess about the meaning of the new word. Let's see if you can use this strategy to figure out the meaning of new words.
Here's our first sentence. "The vaqueros take care of the cows." Can you guess what "vaqueros" means? |
Selects picture of men on horses taking care of cows (e.g., cowboy).
(Option: To make this a game, give student a point for each correct answer. Students may compete as teams; or if only one student, let student try to get correct answer faster than you do.) |
49. | Here's another sentence with a new word.
"The campesinos work in the fields." Who can find what campesinos mean? Nice job! You are really getting the hand of this! Now I'm going to give you a tougher one. |
Selects a picture of workers in a field.
Use same strategy for prompting as above/and same game format. |
50. | "Tradition" is one of our vocabulary words. We know from the story that tradition is something you do year after year in the same way. Listen to this next sentence to hear one of Esperanza's birthday traditions. "It is a tradition for Papa and the other men from the ranch to serenade her at sunrise with the birthday song."
What is an example of a 'tradition' for Esperanza? |
Selects a picture of men singing. |
51. | Remember, tradition is something you do year after year in the same way. There many kinds of traditions. For example, Esperanza has another tradition for her birthday. See if you can figure out another birthday tradition as I read this passage. "She will open gifts on her birthday."
What is another birthday tradition? |
Selects a picture of a gift. |
52. | You may have family traditions or things you do every year just like Esperanza and her family, but I bet they are different. What is one of your family traditions? Complete the following sentence, "One of my family traditions is to _________________." | Completes the sentence.
Options: students can select a picture from ones you have prepared (e.g., get gifts on my birthday, decorate the Christmas tree) to complete the sentence or they can write a response. This activity can also be completed as a group by writing the sentence on the board and listing student responses. |
Note: To help students generalize, try other multiple meaning words in future lessons. Point out these words in everyday activities.
| ||
Thanks for reading this story with me. You did a wonderful job with our story today. I can't wait to see what Esperanza does next. |
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES TO EXTEND AND ENRICH THE LESSONS (see teacher materials for graphic organizers) | |
Christmas Web Search. The ability to compare and contrast is an important skill for students. Using a graphic organizer, like a Venn Diagram, is helpful. For this activity, students conduct an internet web search of websites that provide information on Hispanic celebrations of Christmas. The students will use a Modified Venn Diagram to Compare and Contrast the celebration of Christmas in America and in Hispanic countries. To conduct the web search, students can work in small groups with an adult to complete the Christmas Web Search (on right). If needed, an adult can model how to open Internet Explorer and type in the URL. Next, an adult can model how to find the information on the page and place it on the Modified Venn Diagram. As always, when using the internet, be cautious that students do not to follow any hot links off of the web pages, because those have not been checked for content. |
Christmas Web Search Websites:
Visit these websites to discover information about the celebration of Christmas in Hispanic countries. Use it to help you complete the Venn diagram (see teacher materials). Celebrating Christmas in Mexico – Posadas http://www.mexonline.com/christmas.htm "Las Posadas" http://www.mexconnect.com/MEX/austin/posadas.html Understanding the Hispanic Culture http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5237.html |
Yarn Doll
In chapter 4, Mama makes a yarn doll for a little girl. Below are the directions for making one for yourself or one to give away as Mama did. You'll need a ball of yarn, scissors, a ruler, and a book to wrap the yarn around.
