|Reading Lesson: Multiple Meaning Words |Grade Level: 7 |
|Lesson Summary: Students will identify the two types of multiple meaning words—same dictionary entry and homographs. Students will use context clues or the |
|dictionary to identify the intended meaning of multiple meaning words in sentences. Students will use multiple meaning words in sentences demonstrating |
|understanding of the different meanings. Advanced learners will generate sentences with examples of multiple meaning words. Struggling learners will work in pairs |
|to look up definitions of multiple meaning words. |
|Lesson Objectives: |
| |
|The students will know… |
|that some words have more than one meaning. |
|that context clues will help them find the intended meaning. |
| |
|The students will be able to… |
|use context to distinguish the intended meaning of a multiple meaning word. |
|Learning Styles Targeted: |
| |
| |
|Visual |
| |
|Auditory |
| |
|Kinesthetic/Tactile |
| |
|Pre-Assessment: |
|Display the multiple meaning words pet, brush, and crown. |
| |
|Ask students to use the words in a sentence. |
| |
|Ask students to create sentences using another meaning of the word. |
| |
|If students do not know other meanings, give them a sentence with the other meaning and ask how the meaning of the word is different. (e.g. A turtle is a great |
|pet. I have a pink brush. She wore a sparkly crown.) |
| |
|Note students who need extra support. |
|Whole-Class Instruction |
|Materials Needed: Activity Worksheet*, pens, pencils, and paper |
|Procedure: |
|Presentation |
|Introduce the concept of multiple meaning words by explaining that they: |
|have the same dictionary entry with different meanings or |
|are homographs, which are words with different dictionary entry, have the same spelling, and sometimes have a different pronunciation (e.g. bow) |
| |
|Point out that homographs are different from homophones because homophones have the same sound, but are spelled differently. |
| |
|Display these two sentences: |
| |
|The fans yelled, “Block that kick!” |
|The artist carved an image of an eagle in a block of wood. |
| |
|Model using context clues to understand the intended meaning of the word block. |
| |
|Explain that if there are little or no context clues, a dictionary can be used to determine the intended meaning. |
| |
|Guided Practice |
|Distribute the worksheet* to the class. Use questions 1–5 of the worksheet to guide the class in using context clues to understand the intended meaning of multiple|
|meaning words. |
| |
|Read the sentence aloud, point out the underlined word, and read the answer choices aloud. |
| |
|Ask students what context clues they can use to determine the correct meaning. |
| |
|Independent Practice |
|Have students work independently to complete questions 6–10 of the worksheet. |
| |
|Closing Activity |
|Have students work in pairs to write a sentence demonstrating a different meaning for each of the following words: name, patch, paint, racket, and pin. |
|Advanced Learner |
|Materials Needed: pens, pencils, and paper |
|Procedure: |
|Have students make up sentences or short passages containing two or more definitions of multiple meaning words. For example: I was so tired at rehearsal that I had|
|to crash, but I sure woke up at the sound of the cymbal crash! I jumped up too quickly and watched my music stand crash into the seat in front of mine. |
| |
|Explain that the sentences and/or passages can be humorous, but they should demonstrate an understanding of the different meanings of the words. |
|Struggling Learner |
|Materials Needed: pens, pencils, and paper |
|Procedure: |
|Have students work in pairs or groups to look up definitions of some common multiple meaning words such as fine, present, and duck. |
| |
|Ask students to write simple sentences demonstrating understanding of the different meanings. |
