This week, we worked on using context clues to figure out unknown words within a variety of texts. Students also practiced going back to the text to find evidence to support their answers. Using clues to determine the theme of the story was another area of focus.
We also spent time focusing on figurative language. We learned about idioms, similes, metaphors, hyperbole and personification. We will continue to analyze figurative language as we begin our poetry unit.
