“If Dogs Could Talk”

If dogs could talk I think our dogWould have a lot to say.He’d probably tell my little brother,“SIT and now just STAY.”

He’d probably tell my sister,“How about an ice-cream cone?”He’d probably tell my mother,“Please go get me a big bone.”

He’d probably tell my father,“Make a left turn up ahead.”He’d probably tell me,“Kid, tonightI’m sleeping in your bed.”

Context Clues: You be the Detective

Context Clues – What Are They?

• Context clues are bits of information from the text that, when combined with prior knowledge, allow you to decide the meaning of unknown words in the story or article you are reading.

• As a reader you must act similar to a detective and put together clues from sentences surrounding an unknown word in order to make an intelligent “guess” as to what the definition of a word is.

Context Clues – How Do They Help You Read New Words?

• Textbook writers and authors include words or phrases to help their readers understand the meaning of a new or difficult word.

• These words or phrases are built into the sentences around the new or difficult word. By becoming more aware of the words around a difficult word, readers can make logical guesses about the meanings of many words.

Types of Context Clues

Authors use many different types of context clues when writing texts. Three of these types are:

Direct definition context cluesSynonym context cluesAntonym context clues

Direct definition context clues are words that say, “Stop - don’t touch that dictionary. The definition of the word you don’t know is

right here in the text!"

EXAMPLES:

There are many theories, or ideas, about what made the Ice Ages happen.

In this sentence the word “ideas” tells us that theories are different thoughts people have about something.

After a time, glaciers, or slowly moving rivers of ice, formed over many parts of the Earth.

In this sentence the words “slowly moving rivers of ice” tell us what glaciers are.

Synonym context clues are words around a difficult word that mean the same or nearly the same

as the word.

EXAMPLES:

After seeing the picture of the starving children, we felt compassion or pity for their suffering.

In this sentence the word “pity” tells us that compassion means to have understanding for.

Mary admonished her students and they knew they were in hot water for their actions.

In this sentence the words “in hot water” tell us that admonished means cautioned or scolded.

Antonym context clues are words around a difficult word that mean the opposite or nearly the

opposite as the word.

EXAMPLE:

Joe was reluctant to take the job of captain of the team. He was afraid that the time it would take would hurt his grades. On the other hand, Billy was eager for the chance to be the team captain.

In this sentence the words “on the other hand” and “eager” tell us that Billy feels the opposite of Joe, therefore, reluctant means uncertain or cautious.

Now it is your turn to be a detective and follow

the clues!

Use what you have learned about context clues to complete the activity on the next 5 slides.

Context Clues Practice ActivityYour friend Ryan has moved to a new country and is learning a new language. Read what he wrote in his diary and see if

you can figure out the meaning to the underlined words.

Dear Diary,

I overslept this morning. I had to eat my bowl of poof-poofs very quickly, and I almost missed the tramzam. When I got to school, I realized I had forgotten my zilgping . Luckily, Ms. Jutzi is very zoosh, and told me I could bring it tomorrow.

After school, some friends and I played plingming. It’s a new game I am learning. We scored 7 points and they only scored 5 points, so we were the zoiters!

Dad says that next weekend we’re going to the fladder . I can’t wait! I love to swim and play in the sand. I hope I don’t get a sunburn though.

Well, I better go to bed soon. I don’t want to wake up late again and miss my tramzam!

Until tomorrow,Ryan

Directions

It’s time for some detective work. Take each word from Ryan’s diary that is written in his new language and use the context clues in the text to figure them out!

Let’s begin…• What could the word poof-poofs mean?

► The sentences tell me it is something that can be eaten. I know that it is a breakfast food because Ryan said it was morning. I also know that it goes in a bowl. What do you think it is?

► The most logical guess would be a type of cereal.

• What could the word tramzam mean?► The sentences tell me that Ryan was going to school and he almost missed

his tramzam. What do you think it is?► The most logical guess would be a school bus.

• What could the word zilgping mean?► The sentences tell me that it is something Ryan needed at school. I also

know that it is ok if he brings it tomorrow. What do you think it is?► The most logical guess would be Ryan’s homework.

• What could the word zoosh mean?► The sentences tell me that a person can act this way and that Ms. Jutzi is

being kind and allowing Ryan to bring his homework the next day. What do you think it is?

► The most logical guess would be friendly or understanding.

You’re doing terrific…keep going!

• What could the word plingming mean?►The sentences tell me it is a game Ryan and his

friends play against each other and that points can be scored. What do you think it is?

►The most logical guess would be a sport such as basketball or soccer.

• What could the word zoiters mean?►The sentences tell me that Ryan’s team scored 7

points while the other team scored less points. What do you think it is?

►The most logical guess would be that it means winners.

Almost there…

• What could the word fladder mean?►The sentences tell me that Ryan’s dad said he could

go there and when he gets there they will swim and play in the sand. Ryan also mentions not wanting a sunburn. What do you think it is?

►The most logical guess would be a lake or a beach.

• And, remember, we already figured out the word tramzam probably means school bus.

You need to be writing!!

Your turn! Let’s look at the bolded words and use our context clues!!

• Past, Present, and Future Tense• The tense of a verb shows the time of the action or state of being.

There are three basic verb tenses, these are called simple tenses; Past, present, future.

• Tense means time in grammar.• A verb in the present tense shows that an action is happening now.• EX-Water covers much of the earth’s surface.• A verb in the past tense show that an action happened at a definite

time in the past.(before now)• EX-Many changes in the oceans happened over time.• A verb in the future tense shows that the action hasn’t happened yet

but will any time now!• EX-Scientists will study more forms of ocean life in coming years.

Math

•Let’s practice estimating products and quotients…a lot.

• Distributive Property

•

Distributive Property

Everything on the inside gets distributed by what is on the outside.

Identity property of multiplication

Commutative Property of Mult.

The numbers MOVE places!!!

Associative Prop. of multiplication

Remember!! The numbers DO NOT move, only the parenthesis

PropertiesProperties(Identity & Distributive) (Identity & Distributive)

& & Order of Order of

Identity Property:Identity Property: the sum of zero the sum of zero and any number equals that and any number equals that number. The product of one and number. The product of one and any number equals that numberany number equals that number

Distributive PropertyDistributive Property:: Multiplying Multiplying a sum by a number is the same a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend in the as multiplying each addend in the sum by the number and then sum by the number and then adding the products.adding the products.

Identity PropertyIdentity PropertyIf you add 0 to any number, the number stays the same.

A + 0 = A or 5 + 0 = 5

If you multiply any number times 1, the number stays the same.

A x 1 = A or 5 x 1 = 5

Focus Time:

Guided Practice:Find the value of n. Identify the property used.

a. 1 x n = 71 b. 64 + n = 64

Focus Time:

Guided Practice:

Mentally visualize multiplication when you use the distributive property.

2 x 37 = 2 x (30 + 7) = (2 x 30) + (2 x 7)

Use the distributive property to solve 4 x 29.

4 x 29 = 4 x (25 + 4)= (4 x 25) +

(4 x 4)= 100 + 16= 116

So, 4 x 29 = 116

Review “Order of Operations” – “Review “Order of Operations” – “PPlease lease EExcuse xcuse MMy y DDear ear AAunt unt SSally”ally”

Independent Practice:Name the property shown.a. 5 x 58 = (5 x 50) + (5 x 8) b. k x 1 = k

c. m x p = p x m d. 4 x (7 + 9) = (4 x7) + (4 x 9)

Jay Z simplified the problem below.

5(x+2)=5x+2Beyonce says that JayZ is incorrect.Who is correct and why?

a. Jay Z is correct because 5(x+2)=5(x)+2b. Jay Z is correct because 5(x+2)=5(x)+1(2)c. Beyonce is correct because 5(x+2)=5(x)+5(2)d. Beyonce is correct because 5(x+2)=10x+2
