Students will create a Word Study Notebook. This Word Study Notebook will be used throughout the year for taking notes during Whole Group and to record Independent Word Study Activities. 2. You will use this notebook in every subsequent Word Study lesson. It reduces the amount of loose papers and organizes the Whole Group Word Study principles for easy reference. It provides a place for students to continue inferring word meaning without reliance on worksheets. 3. You will need to create a Whole Group section with a Table of Contents and about 20 blank pages behind this section. 5th Grade 5 I am going to model how I figured out what the first unfamiliar word meant, but then I would like all of you to join in and help me identify which strategy I used for the next two unfamiliar words. When I first read this letter, I came across the word indigo. Indigo is not a word that I usually use during my day-to-day conversations, but I think that I figured out what it means. I looked at the sentence that it is in. I read the sentence again. The sentence is “The water is a beautiful indigo; it looks just like the sky.” I know that indigo has to have something to do with water because if says that the water is a “beautiful indigo”. I also know that it is something that is like the sky because it says that it looks just like the sky. I think about what I know about the sky. Most of the time the sky is blue --- sometimes it can be gray, but most of the time it is blue. I also think about what I know about water – when I have been to the beach or pictures that I have seen of the beach. Almost all of the times that I have been to the beach, or the pictures that I have seen of the beach show blue water. BUT, I have to be careful and make sure that ‘blue’ would fit the meaning of indigo, so I want to read the other sentences around the word. I want to take time and revisit the text to make sure that it makes sense. I read the sentence that comes before the sentence that the word is in – “Florida is stunning this time of year.” I know that stunning means pretty, but some people might not think that blue is a pretty color. That sentence doesn’t really help me out. I move on and read the sentence that comes after the sentence that the word is in – “In fact, sometimes I can’t tell where the water ends and the sky begins.” So, if I think that ‘indigo’ might mean ‘blue’, it would make sense in this sentence. If blue is the color of the sky and the water then it would be hard to tell where they were divided. 6. Introduce the strategies chart to the students. Boys and girls, I just showed you how I determined the meaning of the word ‘indigo’. Today we will begin creating a chart together which will help us know what to do when we come to a word, and we are unsure of its meaning. Here’s a chart which we will create together and continue to use for the remainder of the year. ***Complete the chart with your students as shown below.*** 5th Grade 6 7. Move on to the next word, strenuous, and this time allow the students to help in the ‘discovery’ of the meaning. Wow! I’m so happy to have figured out what the word ‘indigo’ means. I think that I’m getting the hang of how to figure out the meanings of words. There’s another word, though, that has been puzzling me since I read it. The word is ‘strenuous’. I’m going to do the same thing that I did when I looked at the word ‘indigo’ to see if I can figure out what ‘strenuous’ means. This time I would like you all to help me as much as you can. ** Teachers – lead your students through the steps you would take to determine the meaning of the word ‘strenuous’, following the same format and steps taken when determining the meaning of ‘indigo’. 8. Model Independent Practice: You are establishing the routine students will be following during independent time. Using your Word Study Notebook under the document camera draw the anchor in your Word Study notebook independent section or a use a blank copy of the word collection chart to model using the Journey’s Vocabulary in Context word cards to infer meaning (see note below about these word cards). You will go through the process of determining word meaning with one card each day. Students either need to draw or copy a copy of the Word Collection Chart in their Word Study Notebook so they will have a place to record their work. Gradually release control to the students over the course of this week. By Friday, you want the students to be able to complete the word card activity independently.

After this week, students will complete this portion of the lesson in a center that all students rotate through, or during independent work time. It could be completed on various days throughout the week. This will depend on how you structure your independent time. Students use Journey’s Vocabulary in Context word cards to infer meaning. In the independent section of their Word Study notebook, have students create the chart or paste a copy to record their thinking.

Students should have the independent activity completed by the end of the week. You will want to collect their notebooks to monitor their progress and understanding. 5th Grade 10 What Do Readers Do When They Don’t Know the Meaning of a Word? Re-read the sentence that the word is in. Read above and below the word to get a mental image about what is happening in the text. Think about what you know about the words (text) that are around the unfamiliar word. Connect the word to one of “my words” – a word that you think might have the same meaning. Collect “clues” from the text. Look at the word. Do I recognize and know the meaning of any of the parts?

This lesson will focus on Bridging to STAAR (connecting the concept of determining meaning through context to how it is tested on STAAR). 2. Using the Vocabulary in Context Bridging to STAAR document, explain that this is what the questions about vocabulary in context could look like on STAAR Refer to the Types of Context Clues and Word Collection Anchor Charts that have been co-constructed during the previous minilessons. Have the STAAR stems for 5.2B ready to display next to the coordinating Anchor Chart (on colored paper, sentence strips, mini- anchor charts, etc…) Discuss with your students that this is how test makers ask them to show mastery of this SE. You must explicitly make the connection between the skill in the minilesson and what the STAAR question is asking the reader to do. Students do NOT make this connection on their own. Vocabulary in Context Bridging to STAAR from The Magic of Eleven At Disney World we twirled in teacups, saw imaginary toys sing and dance, and walked beside magnificent topiaries.

It was here that Sequoyah observed the soldiers writing letters home. Sequoyah wanted to design an alphabet so the Cherokee people could communicate in writing. First, he tried using pictographs for each Cherokee word, but there were thousands. This was too many pictures symbols for the Indians to learn. Finally, Sequoyah divided each Cherokee word into syllables. He created one graphic for each syllable. In 1821, after 12 years, he completed the syllabary, an alphabet in which each symbol represents a syllable. 3 What does the word syllabary refer to in this paragraph? A a dictionary of Cherokee words B a 12-year time span C A writing system in which each symbol represent a syllable D A title given to Cherokee leaders depend on how you structure your independent time.

Hint: When the unusual word is followed by a comma, the definition may be right after that comma. Sometimes the definition is in the following sentence. Synonym- After some unusual word, authors sometimes use a more common synonym. Hint: If the unusual word is followed by a comma and the word “or,” then the words that follow are likely synonyms. Antonym- Sometimes the unusual word is followed by an antonym that can help the reader figure out what the unusual word means. Hint: Look for key words – but, not, although, however, on the other hand, in contrast, & instead Restatement or Explanation- Sometimes the author will restate an unusual word or explain it. Hint: The restatement or explanation may be in a different sentence. Read the sentence before and after the unusual word. Example- Sometimes authors give a concrete example that helps the reader know what an unusual word means. Hint: Look for key words – such as, and other, like, & for example Using Your Background Knowledge to Infer- Most of the time, the reader must depend upon background knowledge to make inferences about the meaning of an unusual word. Hint: Read to the end of the paragraph, then come back and try to think of another word that you know that would make sense instead of the unknown word.
