work on the sk ill of using context cl ues, so PAY

ATTENTION )

TODAY¶s LESSON! GET

Idioms}Words, phrases or expressions

that cannot be taken literally

} In other words, when used in everydaylanguage, they have a meaning OTHER than

the basic one you would find in thedictionary.



How do you find or decode an

idiom?}FOLLOW THE STEPS FOR USING

CONTEXT CLUES

} 1. Underline the unfamiliar phrase, orphrase that would not make sense incontext if taken literally.

} 2. Read sentence without unfamiliarphrase.

} 3. Think about what familiar phrase wouldmake sense in that context,

} 4. Determine meaning.



Examples

}Jose can¶t speak in front of peoplewithout getting butterflies in hisstomach.

}

Does he really have butterflies flying around inhis stomach?

Both Richard and Donnie got jobs tobring home the bacon for theirfamilies. Are Richard and Donnie really bringing bacon

back home for their families to eat?

independent and SILENTtime. I cannot figure outwhat you know unlessyou do your own work.



DO NOW}Get out something to write

with, a piece of paper, andget your independentreading book from the classlibrary.



}WHAT: RHYME SCHEME!

}WHY: Identifying rhyme schemeis a bsic component of

understnading poetry²something you must be able todo before you take the STAAR sowe can reach our class goal

}HOW: See on the followingslides



Rhyme Scheme

}The pattern of rhyme in a poem

}Marked by different letters



Example

My name is Jack

And I¶m not going back

To that awful place

Where I was hit in the face!



How to identify

R HYME SCHEME} 1. At the end of the first line of the poem write

the letter A

My name is JackAnd I¶m not going backTo that awful placeWhere I was hit in the face!



}1. At the end of the 2nd line, askyourself, does the LAST WORD of the

poem rhyme with the last word of the first line?

}If yes, write and A.

}If no, write a B.

} (Look back at example)



}

At the end of the 3

rd

line,ask yourself, does the lastword of the poem rhymewith the last word of anyline in the poem so far?}If yes, write the same letter as the

line it rhymes with

}If no, write the next letter in thealphabet



}My name is Jack

}And I¶m not going back

}To that awful place

}Where I was hit in the face!



Another Example

Life is an open r oad

And I don¶t know where I¶m goin¶ You can never tell

Which way the wind¶s blowin¶

Or where the river¶s flowin¶

I just don¶t k now



If in my quest 2 achieve my goals

I stumble or crumble and lose my soul

Those that knew me would easily co-sign

There was never a life as hard as mine

No father-no money-no chance and no guide

I only f ollow my voice inside

if it guides me wrong and I do not win

I¶ll learn from mistakes and try 2 achieveagain
