Reading ALL Blocks - 2/24

Today we began a new story.  Our story is called Life in Flatland.  Students created a context clues chart for their vocabulary words.  There are three columns.  In the first column is the word and page number.  In the second column is their context clues.  That is where they use their context clues to figure out what their vocabulary word means.  After they have used context clues for their vocabulary words then they may use a glossary or dictionary to look up their words.  

Chart below:
