FINDING WORD MEANINGContext Clues & Text Features #1Part 1. Read the passage.

Have you ever seen a wild turkey? Chancesare you have since they are native to America and live in every state except Alaska! Given their large size, they’re hard to miss. Male turkeys, also known as “Tom Turkeys,” can weigh up to 25 pounds. On the contrary, the female “hens”typically weigh less than 15 pounds.

Turkeys are omnivores. Their diet typicallyincludes foods such as: berries, seeds, nuts,insects, frogs, and lizards. They forage for food during the day, usually in the woods near a creek or pond.

While they prey on certain animals during theday, they hide from their predators at night.Where do they seek shelter? Since they are onlyable to fly short distances, they often fly tolow-hanging tree branches to sleep and hidefrom predators. Foxes, snakes, and coyotes arejust a few predators of these wild birds.

As you can see, wild turkeys possess quite afew, interesting characteristics. A popular myth states that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of the United States. This is actually untrue! The real story is that Benjamin Franklin once shared his opinion that a turkey is a courageous bird.

Part 2. Reread the passage and underline the words that are listed below.

Glossarynative: an animal or plant found naturally in a given place.
