Context Clues

MULTIPLE-MEANING WORDS Remind students that they can use context clues to determine the meaning of multiple-meaning words. Have students list any unknown words they encountered as they read If You Made a Million. They can create a chart showing the unknown word, helpful context clues, and their definition of the word based on its context. Students can confirm word meanings using a dictionary.

Saving

LOOKING BACK Remind students of the focus
question of the week: How does money work?
Discuss how this week's Concept Web of
vocabulary words relates to the theme of saving.
Ask students if they have any words or categories
to add. Discuss whether words and categories are
appropriately related to the concept.

MOVING FORWARD Preview the title of the next
selection, My Rows and Piles of Coins. Ask
students which Concept Web words might apply
to the new selection based on the title alone. Put
a star next to these words on the web.

Display the Concept Web and revisit the vocabulary
words as you read the next selection to check
predictions.
