Objectives: Today I will brainstorm strategies for encountering unfamiliar words.

Homework: 5-word vocabulary check Wednesday, 10/9
Keep bringing your Readers' Workshop book to class!

Agenda:
  • Finish reading The Junkyard Wonders and creating a character web
    • ​Whole class character web notes
  • Possible Sentences half sheet
    • ​Write up to five sentences using the words at the top of your worksheet
    • Try using multiple key words (2-3) in each sentence!
    • Then, read the article! Keep an eye out for the key vocabulary terms to see if you understand them better in context.
  • Strategies
    • ​What strategies did you use to determine the meaning of the words you didn't know?
    • Here's my list:
      • ​Look up the definition (dictionary, google, ask a friend/parent/teacher)
      • Look up synonyms of the word
      • Check for context clues (within the sentence/paragraph)
      • Find a picture describing the word
  • Vocabulary Homework
    • ​Track 10 vocabulary words of your choice from your Readers' Workshop book(s)
    • Goal: Find one NEW word every school day (even if we don't have reading time in class)
    • Record words on your Vocabulary Graphic Organizer (will get in class tomorrow! If you find a word tonight, write it on the instruction sheet or a sticky note that you can find later!)
